Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the well-being supportive home environment of elderly people (n = 37) with visual impairment (VI) and its relationship with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Data were collected during home visits six (6) months after the commencement of individual low vision rehabilitation (LVR) process. A structured well-being supportive environment instrument and a general HRQoL instrument were administered. Background variables had no detectable effect on the HRQoL. The HRQoL correlated significantly with the symbolic environment, living-related fears and feelings of general restrictiveness. The participants generally saw their home environment to be comfortable and supportive of well-being, but many felt that their life was too much restricted to home environment.
