Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are developing a new way to measure how vision loss affects older adults' overall health and ability to do daily tasks. They want to understand the connection between eye disease (specifically advanced age-related macular degeneration) and physical frailty. This study will test the new measurement tool with 20 patients and also talk with patients and their family members about their experiences.
Vision loss is common in older adults, but doctors don't have a good way to measure how it affects a person's overall frailty and quality of life. This trial aims to fill that gap by creating a tool that brings together vision testing, daily functioning, and mental health information.

You would visit a clinic where researchers will test your vision (distance and reading), measure your reading speed, ask you questions about your daily activities and mental health, and assess your overall physical strength. Your relatives or carers may also be invited to share their perspectives through remote interviews. The study takes place over three years, with recruitment and testing happening in year two.
