The levels of anxiety of 20 recently blinded elderly clients in the Independent Living Rehabilitation Program of the Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind were measured using the American Foundation for the Blind's Anxiety Scale for the Blind. It was hypothesized that recently blinded elderly persons would have a lower degree of anxiety after receiving instruction in daily living skills—a hypothesis that the findings confirmed.
