APPLICATION OF MODIFIED NEI VFQ-25 AFTER RETINAL DETACHMENT TO VISION-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE

Changes of Vision-Related Quality of Life in Retinal Detachment Patients after Cataract Surgery

Rhegmatenous retinal detachment (RRD) is one of the most serious complications after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation surgery. It has been reported that vision-related quality of life (VRQoL), as well as visual acuity rapidly decreased when RRD developed. However, little is known of the VRQoL in those RRD patients after anatomical retinal re-attachment, especially...

Vision-related quality of life and visual function after retinal detachment surgery.

PURPOSE To compare the vision-related quality of life (VR QOL) after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) surgery with that of normal controls and to investigate the relationship between the VR QOL and visual function after surgery for RD. DESIGN Prospective, consecutive, comparative case series. METHODS The 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) was self-ad...

The psychometric validity of the NEI VFQ-25 for use in a low-vision population.

PURPOSE To determine the psychometric validity of the National Eye Institute-Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) and its subscale structure for use in people with low vision. METHODS Two hundred thirty-two participants completed the NEI VFQ-25. Rasch analysis was used to test the psychometric performance of the questionnaire and each subscale. Factor models were hypothesized and tested...

Vision-related quality of life assessment using the NEI-VFQ-25 in adolescents and young adults with a history of congenital cataract.

PURPOSE To assess vision-specific health-related quality of life in adolescents and young adults with a history of congenital cataract using the National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25). METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who underwent surgery aged younger than 24 months. Those 13 years or older at follow-up were selected for inclu...
