When Vision Loss Occurs: A Practical Guide for Adults and Their Loved Ones.

Vision loss acquired later in life affects a growing number of people, particularly older adults. The impact and challenges faced in daily life remain largely misunderstood. However, it is possible to maintain or regain independence by adapting one’s environment or adjusting daily routines. This guide is the result of a collaborative effort by professionals, community organization representatives, and people with vision loss. It provides practical answers to questions faced by those who are losing their sight: Do I have to give up cooking? Can I still 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.
