When Vision Loss Begins: A Practical Guide for Adults and Their Loved Ones.
Vision loss that occurs later in life affects a growing number of people, especially older adults. The impact and the challenges faced in daily life remain largely misunderstood. However, it is possible to maintain or regain independence by making adjustments to one’s environment or adapting one’s daily routines.This guide is the result of a collaborative effort by professionals, representatives of organizations, and people with low vision. It provides practical answers to questions that arise for those who are losing their sight: Do I have to give up cooking? Can I continue to go out on the street? How can I read books? How can I maintain relationships with my friends? It was designed to serve as a tool for communication between those affected and their family, friends, and professionals.
