The multiple mediating effects of vision-specific factors and depression on the association between visual impairment severity and fatigue: a path analysis study
Our findings indicate an inverted-U shaped relationship between visual impairment severity and fatigue in patients with low vision. The complexity of this relationship is likely explained by the consequences of visual impairment, in particular by strained eyes and depressive mood, rather than by severity of the disability itself.
