Abstract
The results of 37 studies comparing the psychological health of people with visual impairments to unimpaired control groups or populations are included in this overview of the literature. Individuals with visual impairments typically show a marked reduction in psychological well-being related to their vision. The decrease in metrics unrelated to eyesight, however, was not very significant. Additionally, because of the difficulties and restrictions related to their condition, people with visual impairment also frequently have worse psychological health and are more vulnerable to mental diseases including anxiety and depression. This review emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing the psychological well-being of visually impaired individuals, providing valuable insights for future research, interventions, and support systems aimed at improving their overall mental health and well-being.
