Description: Since there has been little research about caring for people with vision impairment specifically in comparison with other carer groups - especially dementia carers - this study set out to interview people with vision impairment and their carers to find out whether there is any difference in caring for someone with vision impairment, whether the effects on the carer are different and how the carer facilitates the independence of the person they support where this is possible.
