Are older people with visual impairment more likely to need help in managing medication compared to peers without visual impairment?
Older patients with visual impairment require significantly more practical support for medication self-management in primary care.

In clinical practice in primary care, patients' needs for practical support in taking prescribed treatment must be recognised. Strategies for effective medication self-management should be explored.
