JAMA Ophthalmology Jul 29, 2021

Parravano M, Petri D, Maurutto E, et al. - The study was carried out to determine the prevalence of depression among individuals with visual impairment who visit eye clinics and low vision rehabilitation services on a regular basis. This review identified and included studies that collected data on the relationship between acquired visual impairment and depression in people aged 18 and up. This review included 27 studies, with all but 2 including patients over the age of 65. The median proportion of depression in 1,687 patients with visual impairment was 0.30 out of 6,992 total patients (mean [SD] age, 76 [13.9] years; 4,195 women [60%]). According to the findings of this meta-analysis, depression in patients with visual impairment is a common problem that should be recognized and addressed by healthcare professionals who treat these patients.
