This study aims to develop an ICF Core Set Vision Loss for the adult life span, providing a global perspective on the functional challenges faced by individuals with vision impairment. As part of its development, the aim was to understand the impact of vision loss on the lives and functioning of individuals with vision impairment from their own perspectives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional qualitative study was performed, using a thematic analysis of data that was gathered through an online survey across the six World Health Organization regions and in-depth interviews.

Key findings regarding body functions and structures included a focus on emotional functions, confidence and energy levels. For activities and participation, major concerns were recreation, transportation and employment. Environmental factors highlighted the importance of family and technology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study underscores the complex challenges faced by individuals with vision loss, encompassing emotional, psychological, environmental and participation-related aspects.
