Visually impaired patients have difficulty in performing the activities of daily living (ADL). For example, one study found that 21% of the participants had trouble with dressing or undressing, 25 % with mobility at home, and 31 % with eating and drinking. Another study showed that 27,5% experience difficulty with bathing and 16.6% with dressing or undressing. Yet another study revealed that 15 % of the participants had problems with dressing or undressing tre days after cataract surgery, and in another study, 43% of the participants reported difficulties with personal care one month after eye surgery.
