简要总结
Vision impairments affect 2.2 billion people worldwide, including 36 million who are blind and 217 million with moderate-to-severe visual impairment. In the US, age-related vision loss is a leading cause of disability among older adults.
详细描述
With increasing longevity, global blindness rates are expected to triple, and moderate-to-severe vision impairment rates to double in 30 years. The study aims to assess the effects of structured psychosocial counseling on mental health (depression, anxiety) and functional independence in individuals with low vision. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the overall impact on quality of life (QoL) following the counseling intervention. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Superior University Lahore.
