“…Em todas as faixas etárias, adultos com perda da função visual eram mais propensos a relatar depressão. (21) Estudo canadense de revisão sistemática (22) envolvendo pacientes com baixa visão verificou pior QV e maiores chances de sintomas depressivos em comparação com grupos controle saudáveis. A utilização de um teste específico para rastreamento de depressão, com abordagem mais direta sobre humor e anedonia, pode trazer benefícios ao programa de reabilitação ao apontar a necessidade de apoio psicológico ou médico e, possivelmente, obter melhor aproveitamento do processo de reabilitação pelos usuários.…”

“…Undoubtedly, daily living activities can be major obstacles for people with visual impairment since they are unable to carry them out, or need support from family members to accomplish them (Jones et al, 2019). Besides difficulties with functioning in different life aspects, visual impairment is often associated with emotional problems and the occurrence of depression and anxiety (Giloyan et al, 2015;Nayeni et al, 2021), as well as poorer overall health, which are especially frequent in people with moderate to severe visual impairment (Crews et al, 2016;Elsman et al, 2019). All of the above can lead to a diminished sense of personal well-being.…”

Quality of life is a broad and complex construct. World Health Organization refers to it as an "individual's perception of their position in life (…) in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns". Reduced visual functions have a negative impact on the overall individual's functioning. Difficulties in accessing visual information and problems in orientation and mobility create significant limitations in performing daily activities and lead to diminished opportunities for education, work, social participation, and leisure. Limited participation in the aforementioned areas with lower social interactions have a negative impact on the individual's quality of life. However, it is unclear whether this construct of people with visual impairment is compromised due to reduced ability to perform daily activities or due to difficulties in establishing social interactions. Objectives. In an effort to indicate the consequences of visual impairment on quality of life, the goal of this research was to determine the objective quality of life in adults with different visual status when controlling the age. Methods. The Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the quality of life. The sample consisted of 175 people - 92 participants with visual impairment and 83 participants without structural or functional problems in the visual system. Results. Results of eight one-way ANCOVAs indicated a significant effect of visual status on Objective quality of life in total (p < .001) and on its four domains: Material well-being, Health, Productivity, Place in Community. Conclusion. The effects of different visual status on the observed construct revealed when age as a variable is controlled.

“…Individuals with low vision often seek low vision rehabilitation services due to difficulty with reading 1–6 . Low vision rehabilitation specialists generally prescribe assistive magnification devices and/or provide behavioural training (e.g., preferred retinal locus or eccentric viewing training) aimed at improving reading speed 7–14 . Assistive devices often improve the reading speed and ability of those with visual impairments by modifying print size and lighting conditions, i.e., luminance and colour.…”
