Vision impairment is one of the most frequently reported disabling conditions of late life. Stressors presented by vision loss can create barriers, threatening the well-being of the individual and inhibiting the aptitude to adapt to physical, social, and psychological changes. This study of 30 seniors (aged 65 to 95 years of age) investigated age-related vision loss and the influence of adaptation, emotions, and length of time vision loss occurred. All participants experienced unexpected sight loss during their senior years. The Adaptation to Age-Related Vision Loss (AVL) Scale was used in this study to examine psychosocial adaptation to vision impairment. The emotional impact of vision impairment was assessed by collecting self-reported comments and reflections towards vision loss and how the change impacted their lives. Findings from this study suggest that adaptation, emotions, and time influence the well-being of the individual. The researcher concluded that adaptation and emotions in connection with progression of time gives rise to enhanced compensation, realizations, and increased psychosocial health. Given the correct balance of support, confidence and acceptance, seniors can confront the existing barriers and focus on the ability to optimize function with age-related vision loss.
