Visually impaired individuals need to function independently and safely at home. The goal is to make home care environment comfortable and functional for vision impaired individuals.

Environmental modifications to home care settings should address the various sight problems of older adults. Generally, it is wise to focus on:

  • Increasing the level of illumination
  • Reducing glare
  • Increasing color contrast
  • Increasing the size of important visual objects
  • Eliminating hazards
