The social and emotional cost of sight loss is considerable. A recent report on the impact of sight loss found that
- 2 in 5 people of those that
responded experienced anxiety and depression they related to their sight loss. - 1 in 4 said their sight loss has a negative impact on their personal relationships.
- 1 in 3 people were struggling financially.
- The quality of life for people affected with severe sight loss was lower than those affected by diabetes, hearing loss, depression and even breast cancer
