Individual, family, and environmental determinants of vision-related quality of life of children and young people with visual impairment.

ABSTRACT: Childhood visual impairment can have a significant impact on an individual's development. To improve clinical care and develop appropriate psychosocial interventions of these patients, it is necessary to understand the contributing and modifiable factors that both identify individuals in greater need and could be targeted in interventions. Here we investigate the broader individual, family, and environmental factors associated with vision-related quality of life (VQoL) of children and young people with visual impairment (CYP-VI). Data for this cross-sectional study were collected from September 2014 to May 2017 to develop and validate two vision-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for CYP-VI. Patients were recruited from 22 hospitals in the United Kingdom and were aged 7-18
