这项研究探讨了视力丧失对生活环境中重要生活领域的影响。样本包括两组视力障碍患者：中年人（n=44）和老年人（n=107）。研究结果显示，重要的群体差异的程度，类型和方面的生活变化的四个生活领域内：目标/优先事项，自我观点，世界观，与他人的关系。总体而言，中年参与者经历了更多的变化，这些变化似乎更明显。研究结果表明，如果视力丧失发生在成年中期，它往往更具破坏性，并且具有负面长期后果的风险。
This study examined the impact of loss of vision on important life domains depending on life context. The sample included two groups dealing with vision impairment: middle-aged (n=44) and older adults (n=107). Findings showed important group differences in extent, type, and facet of life changes across and within four life domains: goals/priorities, self-views, worldviews, and relationships with others. Overall, middle-aged participants experienced more change, and these changes seemed to be more pronounced. Findings suggest that if vision loss occurs in middle adulthood, it tends to be more disruptive, and that it comes with the risk of negative long-term consequences.
