Low vision self-management programs can help individuals cope with vision loss, but participation barriers must be addressed. Tailored content and accessible delivery are key for program success.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Individuals with low vision face significant challenges impacting daily life, social interactions, and emotional well-being.
  • Existing support systems may not adequately address the multifaceted needs arising from vision impairment.
  • Self-management (SM) programs offer a potential avenue for empowering individuals with low vision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the specific needs of individuals with low vision.
  • To inform the development of effective low vision self-management (SM) programs.
  • To determine barriers that may hinder participation in such programs.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted semi-structured interviews with 48 participants diagnosed with low vision.

  • Utilized qualitative analysis to identify recurring themes and patterns in participant experiences.
  • Explored functional, social, and emotional consequences of vision loss.

    • Main Results:

    • Participants reported difficulties in functional activities, social engagement, and emotional well-being due to vision loss.
    • Less than half of the participants expressed interest in attending a SM program.
    • Identified barriers included practical concerns, perceived lack of need, and negative program perceptions.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-management programs hold promise for addressing low vision challenges if participation barriers are overcome.
    • Effective programs should integrate vision-specific strategies, problem-solving skills, and emotional coping mechanisms.
    • Program delivery and promotion strategies must be optimized to improve accessibility and encourage uptake across diverse low vision populations.
