Health-related quality of life measurements in children and adolescents with refractive errors: A scoping review

“…This improves children's perception and provides more accurate feedback to researchers and clinicians about the patient's condition. 49 , 50 , 86 , 87 The CVFQ is also divided according to age and includes a quality of life test for children younger than 3 years old, which is essential for assessing quality of life in infancy and is a rarity in the measurement of children's quality of life. 32 , 33 It is important to note that the accuracy of CVFQ needs to be studied because it cannot demonstrate infant feelings from communication and words.…”

Visual Autism

“…A recent study by Paysse et al showed that PRK improves the developmental outcomes of children with intellectual disability and high isoametropia [ 82 ]. Similarly, in studies of refractive surgeries in children with neurobehavioral disorders, 85–92% exhibited enhanced visual awareness, attentiveness, or social interactions postoperatively [ 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. We recently published the results of a small pilot study enrolling 24 children pre- and 1-month post refractive surgery.…”
