A critical analysis and evidence-based case study of a visually impaired patient, exploring the pathologies causing their impairments, and reflecting on the lived experience of that individual
Aims of the essay:
• Identify what is meant by the term ‘low vision’ or ‘visual impairment’ and discuss how these definitions or models apply to the patient in the associated case study.
• Critically reflect upon how these terms or models are underpinned by, or contrast, psycho-social models and frameworks relating to impairment and the lived experience of a person.
• Using an appropriate evidence base, discuss the pathophysiology presenting in the associated patient, and evaluate its impact on the patient’s visual function.
• Evaluate what the evidence base suggests about the long-term prognosis for the patient.
• Utilising the evidence identified, link the patient’s reported issues with their daily lived experience, to the pathophysiology and its impact on visual function.
