Objective: The goal of the present research is to determine the degree of the efficiency of group approach of ACT on the life quality of elderly people suffering from ARMD. Method: The research is a semi experimental study with the pre, post-test and experimental and control groups. The research population was the aging men and women suffering from ARMD selected from Karaj Nour-e-Didegan Ophtalmology Clinic. The sample of the research was 28 people were chosen through random sampling method and divided into two experimental and control groups. The program of approaching based upon therapy through ACT in the collective form within 8 sessions of 120 minutes. Results: The results were analyzed by studying the ANOVA with repeated measure and LSD and the result showed a significant meaning of the efficiency of ACT on sub scales of the life quality, physical sanity and psycho sanity. But no significant meaning was achieved to affirm the efficiency of ACT upon the environmental sanity. These effects did not persist on the process of follow- up. Conclusion: With regard to the research findings, one can employ ACT to improve life quality of the aged people who suffer from ARMD.

The present study attempts to understand whether ACT could affect the life quality of the aged people suffering from ARMD?

The present treatment with regard to emphasizing the values of people and setting goal and acting committed homogenous with their values and also acceptance of pain due to deficiencies special for agedness and, AMRD raises the mark of life quality.
Up to the present time no research has been done to study the effect of this type of therapy (ACT) on the patients suffering from ARMD.
With regard to the effect of this therapy upon the rise of life quality among these patients, it could be said that the results of the present research are in the line with the results of Fernandez etal.
