Vision-targeted quality of life under different degrees of visual impairment
Gabriele Helga Franke, Joachim Esser, Jens Reimer, Nicole Maehner
To determine differences of vision-targeted quality of life (QOL) under different degrees of visual impairment using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ) in a German sample of 241 consecutive patients. Patients with severe visual impairment and partly patients with moderate visual impairment suffered the most from a decrease in vision-targeted QOL. We assume that the NEI-VFQ is a very useful and reliable psychodiagnostic inventory assessing vision-specific QOL and we suggest the use of this instrument in future studies.
