This review highlights the literature on the function and adjustment process of family members of persons with adult-onset vision loss. The majority of the literature has focused on the unique role that the family plays in providing both instrumental and emotional support to adults with low vision. In contrast, the impact of low vision on the psychosocial adjustment of the family has been largely understudied. The review concludes with a discussion of the implications for clinical practice, along with directions for future research on the family within the context of low vision rehabilitation.
本综述重点介绍了有关成年后视力丧失者家庭成员的功能及适应过程的文献。大多数文献都聚焦于家庭在为低视力成年人提供物质和情感支持方面所发挥的独特作用。相比之下，低视力对家庭心理社会适应的影响在很大程度上未得到充分研究。综述最后讨论了对临床实践的启示，以及在低视力康复背景下未来关于家庭研究的方向。
