Visual functional usually play a variety of role on social reciprocity. The primary indication for identifiednumber of people, visual identified also provide crucial non-verbal social information via both facial expressions and body language. One of the results of vision loss is the need to rely on non-visual identified during social coordinate. Although verbal indication can carry a significant amount of information, this information is often not available to an untrained listener. Here, we reviewthe current literature examining potential ways that the loss of social information due to vision loss might impact social functioning. A large number of studies suggest that low vision and blind- ness is a risk factor for anxiety and depression. This relationship has been attributed to multiple factors, including anxiety about disease progression, and impairments to quality of life that include difficulties reading, and a lack of access to work and social activities. However, ourreview suggests a potential additional contributing factor to reduced quality of life that hasbeen hitherto overlooked: blindness may make it more difficult to effectively engage in social interactions, due to a loss of visual information. The current literature suggests it might beworth considering training in voice discrimination and/or recognition when carrying out rehabilitative training in late blind individuals.
