“…Lastly, the SF-12 data are paralleled by similar changes in the NEI VFQ mental health and general health subscale scores that increased and declined over time, respectively. This is consistent with previous findings that related these two NEI VFQ subscales to SF-36 scores [40].…”

Purpose-The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of residential blind rehabilitation on patients' vision targeted health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and general physical and mental function.Methods-The National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ) plus appendix questions, the 12 item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), Hope Scale and Coopersmith self-esteem inventory were administered to 206 legally blind veterans prior to their entering a residential (in-patient) blind rehabilitation program and again to 185 and 176 of the original cohort at two and six months after completion of the rehabilitation program, respectively. Data on visual acuity, visual field extent, contrast sensitivity and scanning ability were also collected. The duration of the in-patient rehabilitation programs ranged from 11-109 days. Questionnaire scores were compared pre-rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation.Results-Following rehabilitation there was a significant improvement in nine of eleven NEI VFQ subscales and in a composite score at both 2-and 6-month post-rehab intervals. Mental health (SF-12) and self esteem also improved significantly although physical health ratings declined over the course of the study (approximately 10 months).Conclusions-Residential blind rehabilitation appears to improve patients' self-reported visiontargeted HRQOL, self-esteem, and mental health aspects of generic HRQOL.

“…[17][18][19] The VFQ is a generic vision-specific instrument that was designed to study a wide variety of ocular diseases and a number of studies have used the VFQ to study the self-reported QoL of patients with DR. [18][19][20][21][22] The 25-item VFQ is comprised of eleven vision-specific subscales that address the following domains: 1) general vision, 2) near vision, 3) distance vision, 4) ocular pain, 5) social functioning, 6) mental health, 7) role difficulties, 8) dependency, 9) driving, 10) color vision and 11) peripheral vision. Each subscale is scored from 0 -100, where 100 represents self-perceived perfect functioning and 0 represents the greatest level of difficulty in a given domain.…”

“…For all patients, ambulation status was characterized in the following manner: no assistance, unilateral assistance (cane), bilateral assistance (walker), and wheelchair. Expanded Disability Status Scale scores were not available uniformly for patients with MS. 33 • VISION QUESTIONNAIRES: The NEI-VFQ-25 [17][18][19][20] was completed by all study participants. A 10-Item NeuroOphthalmic Supplement, which was designed by our research group who used survey and focus group methods (Tamhankar MA, abstract, presented at the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society Annual Meeting, March 2003), 2 was administered after the NEI-VFQ-25.…”

“…The NEI-VFQ-25 is a short-form version of the 51-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire, which is a vision-specific HRQOL instrument that was derived from a multicondition focus group process. [17][18][19][20] The NEI-VFQ-25 was administered according to standard instructions. Patients were asked to answer all questions as though they were wearing their usual correction (glasses or contact lenses) for the visual activity that was specified.…”

and 10-Item Supplement were administered concurrently to patients and disease-free control subjects. High-contrast visual acuities with patient usual distance correction were measured with the use of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts.• RESULTS: Diagnoses for patients (n ‫؍‬ 215) included optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, ischemic optic neuropathy, stroke, ocular myasthenia gravis, ocular motor palsies, and thyroid eye disease. Scores for the 10-Item Supplement had a significant capacity to distinguish patients vs disease-free control subjects that was independent of the NEI-VFQ-25 composite score (odds ratio in favor of patient vs control status for 10-point worsening in Supplement scores: 2.7 [95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6, 4.6]; P < .001, logistic regression models that account for NEI-VFQ-25 composite score, age, and gender). Patients with visual dysfunction (binocular Snellen equivalents worse than 20/20) had significantly lower mean scores (9 -21 points lower); these differences remained significant after accounting for age and gender (P > .001, linear regression). Supplement items and composite scores demonstrated appropriate degrees of internal consistency reliability.•
