- Abstract
Vision loss is a common condition found in the aging population; however, it can often be dismissed. The purpose of this doctoral capstone experience was to develop an educational resource on vision loss to enhance the knowledge and confidence of healthcare providers and caregivers working with individuals with low vision or who are blind, specifically in senior-based living facilities. In order to determine project specifics and needs, a low vision survey was created. The results of the survey provided areas to focus on within educational materials to enhance overall vision loss knowledge. Following creation and implementation of the vision loss training manual, a post-satisfaction survey was provided to staff. Results showed an overall increase in vision loss knowledge in the areas of eye conditions, adaptations, and technology. Additionally, staff were very likely to use this training manual in practice, or to provide it to another healthcare provider or caregiver.
