Acquired vision loss represents a potentially disruptive experience, with consequences that extend beyond sensory impairment and affect the processes through which self-image is constructed and reconstructed.

Purpose: Compare self-reported vision with visual function measured in the first ophthalmologic evaluation and correlate the findings with the following variables: age, gender, educational status and visual acuity. Methods: Patients files treated in the first ophthalmologic evaluation at a private clinic were raised. Visual function measured at the appointment was carried out using the Snellen chart. Data has been tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet and subjected to statistical analysis (Fisher’s Exact test) in order to verify the influence of the […]
