ABSTRACT
This qualitative case study explored the impact of lockdown and social distancing measures used during COVID-19 on the lives of individuals with low vision. A purposive sample of 6 participants with low vision was recruited. Data were collected using in-depth semistructured interviews consisting of 10 open-ended questions. A thematic analysis was conducted to understand the unified subjective experiences of the participants. The analysis revealed 4 themes (1) Changes, a lot of them; (2) Emotional roller coaster; (3) Life goes on; and (4) Technology as the catalyst. Participants demonstrated ongoing adaptation to meet the changing demands imposed by the pandemic.
