Psychological Challenge

Ageing is part of life. With age, the body physically changes and there are psychological challenges are faced by visual impairment. The elderly find it difficult to cope with the changes. The study is substantiated by concepts, theories, and empirical findings that have accumulated under the umbrella of age-related psycho-ophthalmology. The focus is on adaptation theories in visually impaired older adults. One can understand the ageing through everyday competence, cognitive functioning, social functioning, and subjective well-being-related outcomes, depression, and adaptation processes. Thereafter, major insights related to the current state-of-the art psychosocial interventions with visually impaired older adults are reviewed. There is a need of public health community should become more aware of and address the psychosocial needs of visually impaired older adults.

Declining vision adds to the frustrations and deprivations which make the life of the elderly difficult. This opinion is supported by the experience of clinicians and other providers of services to the visually impaired. However, there is little systematic information available about those elderly visually impaired persons who do not come to clinicians and social agencies for help. Our aim is to describe how reduced vision affects a part of the general population of elderly people.
