The assessment tools included theUCLA Loneliness Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life – BREF questionnaire. Thestudy involved a total of 149 older adults.Results: Our research findings confirm that seniors with visual impairment experience a reduced quality of life across all studied areascompared to the general population. Women with visual impairment only showed a significantly lower quality of life in the domain ofsocial functioning. Seniors with visual impairment reported moderate to high levels of loneliness, with women experiencing higher ratesof loneliness. Additionally, seniors exhibited high levels of anxiety, and a correlation was confirmed between lower quality of life andincreasing age. Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between quality of life in the physical health domain and both state andtrait anxiety in seniors, as well as between environmental quality of life and current anxiety levels.Conclusion: Visual impairment has a significant personal and global impact. The aging population is experiencing a significant increasein the prevalence of vision impairment, which adversely affects the quality of life, mental health, and social interactions of older adults.
