Abstract

This project explored ways of enhancing the lighting of older adults with Age Related Visual Loss. The Visual Functioning Questionnaire (25) was administered at the start of the project and home assessments were carried out mid-way by occupational therapy students. Firstly, findings were analysed using Qualitative Data Analysis Software, and secondly by the Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven. Following this, each participant was provided with a lighting prescription devised by experts. Findings indicated that the participants were able to use both this information and that from the focus groups to meet their lighting needs, particularly drawing on LED technology.
