Karlsson, Jon S.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v92 n7 p483-90 Jul 1998
This study examined the relationship between degree of visual impairment and the self-reports of psychological distress by 167 Icelanders (ages 18-69) and 100 between the ages of 70-97, who were blind or had low vision. The study found that self-reports of psychological distress and perceptions of unhappiness varied significantly with the degree of visual impairment. (Author/DB)
