Abstract
Structured interviews were conducted with 195 visually impaired people, aged 65 or over. A factor analysis was employed to organise the data and nine factors emerged. These were: satisfaction with the service, vision, general health, psycho-social measures, hearing impairment, hardiness, finance, religious beliefs and reported time since vision loss. Subsequent analysis, including discriminate analysis, showed that four measures could be used for assessing low vision service outcome. These were: 1. A measure of patient satisfaction. 2. A function measure which assesses improvement in various daily activities. 3. Measures of the impact of the service on personal well being. 4. A measure assessing a patient's understanding of their eye condition. These findings will be discussed.
