The quality of life impact of peripheral versus central vision loss with a focus on glaucoma versus age-related macular degeneration

Assessing Quality of life of Patients with Cataract and Glaucoma using Generic and Vision-Specific Instruments in India

“…This alignment may be attributed to the chronic, progressive nature of glaucoma, which exerts a broader impact on overall health and daily activities, when compared to cataracts, which are typically acute, surgically treatable, and less likely to influence overall health status once treated. Similar findings have been highlighted in previous studies, where EQ-5D demonstrated greater responsiveness to chronic eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration,[ 47 48 ] while showing limited sensitivity in short-term, curable conditions like cataracts.

Quality of Life among Patients with Glaucoma in the West Bank, Palestine: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Despite 71% of participants prescribed their general health as good, the overall glaucoma QoL was relatively suboptimal (66%). On the other hand , the QoL of glaucoma patients was at medium level in Gaza Strip ( 14 ) and this is supported by previous findings ( 21 ) and whom used SF-36 ( 22 ). In another hand, Goldberg and his colleagues ( 23 )and Naveen, et al ( 17 ) used the GQL-15 and ended with similar findings.…”

A Retrospective study of Low vision intervention in individuals with central field loss and peripheral field loss

“…The presenting near visual acuity of subjects in CFL group was 0.4 (0.3) logMAR which improved to 0.3 (0.0) logMAR and in case of PFL group the near visual acuity improved from 0.4 (0.3) logMAR to 0.3 (0.1) logMAR with p-value of < 0.0001 for both thr groups as shown in [Table 4]. Evans et al [3] comparative study on quality of life showed that mental aspects of the patients with glaucoma (PFL)were more affected than patients with age related macular degeneration (CFL) where physical aspects were affected. There are similar studies which have studied one condition in CFL and PFL for comparison, whereas in this study all possible conditions causing central field loss and peripheral field loss were included.…”
