Vision-related Quality of Life in Children with Amblyopia
نویسنده
چکیده
Vision plays an important role in most everyday activities. Consistent with this, people with visual impairment are usually faced with significant challenges in their daily activities. In children, such activities include playing, reading, socialisation and taking care of their daily needs [1,2]. In the paediatric ophthalmological field, visual problems include high refractive errors, binocular disorders, depth perception deficiency, amblyopia and ocular pathology [3]. These visual impairments in children potentially cause psychological and functional changes and could affect educational and social prospects [4,5] and may thus impact on vision-related quality of life (VRQoL).
