This study explored the lived experiences of adults with a visual impairment who experience fatigue when performing daily activities. The aim was to enhance occupational therapists’ knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon and to suggest future interventions for clients who have a visual impairment and fatigue. Method An interpretative phenomenological analysis was performed. Five adults with a visual impairment who experienced fatigue were recruited via purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, which were audiotaped and transcribed for analysis. Findings: Three superordinate themes emerged: causes, expressions and perceptions of fatigue; fatigue in daily life; and managing activities of daily living. The findings suggest that although fatigue challenges the performance of activities and roles, and thus occupational balance, the participants applied strategies to manage and adapt to fatigue, limiting its consequences. Conclusion The findings have implications for occupational therapists’ adoption of person-centred interventions. We can learn from the participants’ experiences to explore the individual needs of future clients to facilitate person-centred strategies that match the individual and their experience of fatigue, and to promote balance in performance of their daily activities.
