Abstract

This scoping review aims to identify and categorize the health-related indicators used to assess the health of visually impaired persons. The review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley framework for scoping reviews. Studies will be included if they involve participants aged 18 or older with visual impairment and report any type of health indicator, outcome, or measurement. Review articles will be excluded. No publication year restriction will be applied, and studies in English, Korean, or Chinese will be considered.
