The Emotional Toll Of Blindness

Losing one's sight is difficult.  One important aspect is the toll it takes on one's mental health.

Blindness can increase:

• Loneliness
• Social isolation
• Worry
• Anxiety
• Fear

25% of adults who lose their vision experience depression or anxiety.  Younger adults have five times the risk of severe depression or anxiety when losing their sight.
