目的：探讨低视力患者的心理健康状况及受到的社会支持。 方法：从解放军总医院第一附属医院、同仁医院、中医眼科医院采用方便取样的方式抽取105例低视力患者进行调查。采用一般情况调查表、症状自评量表（SCL-90）、社会支持评定量表（SSRS）施测。 结果：（1）低视力患者与社会常模进行比较，两者的SCL-90九个因子（除人际关系外）平均得分均存有显著性差异(P＜0.01或P＜0.05)。（2）不同年龄组被试在人际关系、焦虑、敌对、偏执、精神病五个因子上得分存在显著性差异(P＜0.05)。（3）SCL-90量表与社会支持量表的相关性研究表明社会支持总分与主观支持得分呈负相关，与客观支持与社会支持度上呈部分负相关。 结论：低视力患者存在心理健康问题、主观上感受到的社会支持少，应注重低视力患者的心理护理。
