According to the Depression in Visual Impairment Trial (DEPVIT), 43% of people who lose their sight go on to battle depression, however NHS low vision services focus only on the physical need, and psychological screening or therapy is not yet an integral part of rehabilitation. The study also found that of those who screened positive for depressive symptoms almost three-quarters (74.8%) were not receiving any treatment for their depression. Currently just two out of 638 low vision services in Britain regularly screen patients for depression.
