PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of behavior activation (BA) + low vision rehabilitation (LVR) with supportive therapy (ST) + LVR to prevent depressive disorders in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
DESIGN: Single-masked, attention-controlled, randomized, clinical trial with outcome assessment at 4 months.
PARTICIPANTS: Patients with AMD and subsyndromal depressive symptoms attending retina practices (n = 188).
INTERVENTIONS: Before randomization, all subjects had 2 outpatient LVR visits, and were then randomized to in-home BA+LVR or ST+LVR. Behavior activation is a structured behavioral treatment that aims to increase adaptive behaviors and achieve valued goals. Supportive therapy is a nondirective, psychological treatment …

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to determine whether personality traits influence self-reported functional vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Low Vision Depression Prevention Trial. Participants (N = 182) over age 65 with bilateral AMD, visual acuity worse than 20/70 in the better-seeing eye, and subthreshold depression were recruited from the Wills Eye Hospital retina practice. Assessments included visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 plus Supplement (NEI VFQ-25) near and distance subscales, depression, and personality testing. Structural equation models were used …
