Annotation93 visually impaired older people seeking services at a low vision clinic were interviewed immediately following their low vision evaluations. Most data was self-reported, except visual acuity, which was determined by an optometrist. Personality was evaluated with the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, and vision-specific function was measured by 15 items measuring ability to carry out vision-related tasks. Vision-related function was significantly related to acuity, conscientiousness and depressive symptoms. (RH).
