Self-Report in Functional Assessment of Low Vision.

Szlyk, J. P.; And Others

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v84 n2 p61-66 Feb 1990

This study assesses the validity of an interview questionnaire designed to predict performance by low-vision adults (N=41) on tasks of finding, detecting, scanning, and tracking. Subjects' ratings of difficulty with these tasks were compared to ratings of trained professionals. Results indicate self-report may be of some value in predicting low-vision functioning.
