How does low vision affect peoples lives and their routines?
People with low vision experience physical, economic, and psychological changes that diminish their quality of life. Low vision affects daily routines (walking, going outside, cooking), leisure activities (reading, sewing, traveling, sports), and the ability to perform job-related functions that can lead to loss of income. These consequences often lead people with low vision to become confused, miserable, fearful, uneasy, and depressed. In addition, these people who lose their depth perception are at greater risk of falling and injuring themselves.
