Overall quality of life and wellness among seniors with eye diseases appeared to be good during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the presence of retinal disease and the number of nonocular comorbidities both appeared to negatively impact VRQoL and social support and community integration. Education appeared to impact social support and community integration negatively. The use of a mobility aid appeared to negatively affect depressive symptoms and sleep quality.
