A critical analysis and evidence-based case study of a visually impaired patient, exploring the pathologies causing their impairments, and reflecting on the lived experience of that individual
Case study. (Provided in additional materials under case study patient has wet muscular degeneration)
Critically reflect upon how these terms or models are underpinned by, or contrast, psycho-social models and frameworks relating to impairment and the lived experience of a person.
Using an appropriate evidence base, discuss the pathophysiology presenting in
the associated patient, and evaluate its impact on the patient’s visual function.
Evaluate what the evidence base suggests about the long-term prognosis for the patient.
Utilising the evidence identified, link the patient’s reported issues with their daily lived experience, to the pathophysiology and its impact on visual function
