Core Tip Visual impairment and eye disorders are strongly associated with mental illness, namely depression and anxiety. The interaction is bidirectional: Vision loss can lead to psychological illness, but psychological illness can worsen vision loss through affecting compliance with treatment. Regular screening for psychiatric health in ophthalmic practice and multidisciplinary collaboration are required. Interventions should be tailored to age, severity of visual impairment, and individual psychosocial needs with a focus on coping and functional support.
