Occupational Therapy for Medication Management in Low Vision
This study is exploring if occupational therapy (OT) interventions can help people with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), or Glaucoma manage their medications better. These interventions include education on using additional task lighting, enhanced contrast, enlarged print instructions, smart apps, and organizational strategies. The researchers want to see if these strategies improve medication management skills, reduce errors, and help you use your remaining vision more effectively for this task. They will measure success by looking at your self-reported ability to perform daily activities and your medication management skills. The study aims to enroll 50 participants aged 50 to 100 years old, of all genders. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Revised Self Report Assessment of Functional VisualResults from the Revised-Self-Report Assessment of Functional Visual Performance assessment will be determined on day 1 and 4 weeks later
A standardized assessment which provides information on how well adults with vision loss can perform daily tasks. This tool has 33 assessment components and a higher score indicates less functional impairment. A lower score indicates a higher impairment.
- MediCog Screening ToolResults from the MediCog will be determined on day 1 and will be obtained 4 weeks later
The Medi-Cog has a maximum score of 10 points, and a score of 7 or lower may indicate cognitive impairment.
