Vision-Related Quality of Life Among Healthy, Preperimetric Glaucoma, and Perimetric Glaucoma Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the association of vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) with the central visual field and macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in healthy control participants, patients with preperimetric glaucoma, and patients with perimetric glaucoma.

Design

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods

A total of 39 healthy, 34 preperimetric glaucoma, and 145 perimetric glaucoma patients completed the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ). A linear mixed-effect models was used to investigate the association between the glaucoma stage as measured by binocular 10-2 visual field mean sensitivity (VFMS) and GCC thickness with the Rasch-calibrated NEI-VFQ score.

Results

A total of 436 eyes from 218 participants (me
