Introduction: Visual acuity is the ability of the eye to distinguish details and see separate points. It can be reduced due to: injuries, cataracts, and diseases of the centre of vision and optic nerve. Poor vision has its objective but also a subjective connotation. Patients with reduced visual acuity express fear of vision loss, but also of the uncertain outcome of treatment because the loss of visual acuity disrupts and reduces their daily functioning in life. Relevant literature was researched, and a study was conducted to examine patients' attitudes about the quality of their lives due to reduced visual acuity. Objective: To analyse the quality of life of people with reduced vision, ie the connection of the same with their current way of life, and the loss of previous activities concerning the environment in which they live. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire consisting of questions related to sociodemographic data of respondents and a vision questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25), version 2000 were used for the research. The survey was conducted in January 2022. Results: The largest number of respondents have visual acuity in the category of 51 to 80%, and 47.1% of them cited posterior segment disease as a main cause of poor vision. The results show that there is no difference between the categories of visual acuity and the assessment of the quality of life of the respondents, as well as the visual acuity and the assessment of the physical health of the respondents. The results showed that impaired visual acuity affects the mental health and social life of individuals. Conclusion: Reduced visual acuity is certainly one of the visual impairments that can be associated with such negative consequences on the quality of life of individuals. Impaired visual acuity affects the quality of life of patients in the context of daily activities, their social life, and mental health. People with reduced visual acuity do not necessarily need help in meeting basic human needs.
