Eyes & Vision

Self-management interventions for quality of life in adults with visual impairment: Have you or a loved one experienced visual impairment? Your input is needed on a review considering self-management interventions for adults with visual impairment.

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systemic review “Self-management interventions for quality of life in adults with visual impairment.”

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, visual impairment such as low vision or partial sight to total blindness, and may result from various causes such as eye diseases, injuries, or congenital condition), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient.From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing visual impairment, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!
