Summary
Study start date: July 14, 2025
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study aims to create and test a new program to help people who are adjusting to losing their vision. The program combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, specifically designed for individuals experiencing vision loss. It is important because adjusting to vision loss can be challenging, and this program could offer new ways to help people cope better. Initially, the program's development involves reviewing existing research, gathering feedback from participants, and consulting with experts. The goal is to create a curriculum that is relevant and useful for those dealing with vision loss. In this study, participants will take part in focus groups to provide their opinions on the new program's content and whether it meets their needs. Later, a smaller group will participate in an 8-week course using this curriculum, which can be attended in-person or online. During the sessions, participants will be asked to answer questions about their vision and experiences before and after the program to measure its effectiveness. These assessments will help determine if the program improves their ability to manage vision loss and adjust to changes in their lives.
