Abstract

This annotated bibliography draws together sources from disability studies, ophthalmology, and the rhetoric of health and medicine to explore the relationship between stigma and quality of life (QOL) in persons with low vision. Centering on one such case, the stigmatized cosmetic aspects of nystagmus (a visual impairment characterized by involuntary eye movement) the bibliography will be a valuable resource for academic researchers and industry professionals new to and/or interested in learning about low vision and QOL. The annotations will contribute to our understanding of these topics by drawing connections among diffuse domains of scholarship and suggesting potential directions for future study by humanist scholars and social scientists.
