PURPOSE
The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of vision loss on the activities of adults.
METHODS
Focus groups were conducted that were either disease specific, such as for people with age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or those with congenital vision impairment, or according to previous involvement in rehabilitation services. Discussions were recorded and transcribed. Because many people were retired, leisure activities and personal independence were paramount.
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Younger people were concerned with gaining or continuing in employment or with educational opportunities. The age at onset of vision loss and the cause and duration of vision loss influence its impact. There appears to be a greater level of handicap in people with comorbid eye disease and related disease, such as diabetes.
目的
本研究的目的是确定视力丧失对成年人活动的影响。
方法
开展了焦点小组讨论，这些小组要么是针对特定疾病的，比如年龄相关性黄斑变性、糖尿病视网膜病变、青光眼患者，要么是针对先天性视力障碍患者，要么是根据之前参与康复服务的情况进行分组。讨论内容进行了录音和转录。由于许多人已退休，休闲活动和个人独立性至关重要。
结果/结论：年轻人关注就业机会的获取或延续，以及教育机会。视力丧失的发病年龄、病因和持续时间会影响其影响程度。患有合并眼病和相关疾病（如糖尿病）的人似乎残疾程度更高。
