Abstract [en]

AbstractAge-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease associated with age with progressive loss of central vision, but the peripheral vision remains. The disease is considered the third most common cause of impaired vision and legal blindness in the world among people 60 years and older and as the elderly population increases, the prevalence of AMD is also expected to increase. Because of the progress of the disease, vision-related issues are accumulated and consequently also on the quality of life. The aim of the study was to explore the experience of living with AMD. The participants were ≥ 65 years living in their own homes and having a diagnosis of dry AMD in one or both eyes caused visual acuity of no more than 0.3 in the best eye. The method chosen was the constructivist grounded theory where reality is seen as fundamentally social and processual and a way of getting access to the participants’ experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The interviews were conducted in the participants’ homes or where they preferred such as at a library.
