Low vision can impact everyday life by making it difficult to carry out activities of daily living, such as reading, cooking, and housework. Low vision most commonly affects adults and seniors, in which it can lead to frustration and anxiety.
Unable to carry out common tasks can make someone feel isolated and unable to cooperate in the world. No longer able to see a loved one’s face, shop for themselves, or read their favorite book can have a negative effect. These impacts can make it difficult to make a living, a recent statistic shows that visually disabled Americans ages 21-64 are only 37.2 percent employed.
