Description

Abstract: Some measurable degree of vision loss is an inevitable consequence of aging and many diseases that cause greater levels of vision loss become more prevalent as people get older. With the aging of the baby boomer generation, the number of people suffering from untreatable vision loss is steadily increasing, posing a significant challenge for UD adherents. In order to respond to this challenge, UD designers must understand the common functional consequences of vision loss in the elderly (Haegerstrom-Portnoy, 2005).
