NEI-VFQ-25

Description

The NEI-VFQ is a broad, vision-targeted questionnaire used in the assessment of visual impairment. It has initially been developed by the National Eye Institute in order to match the need for a new tool to assess the extent of visual impairment in patients with various chronic eye conditions of moderate to high severity. It is composed of 12 subscales: general health (1 item), general vision (1 item), ocular pain (2 items), near activities (3 items), distance activities (3 items), vision-specific social functioning (2 items), vision-specific mental health (4 items), vision-specific role difficulties (2 items), vision-specific dependency (3 items), driving (3 items), color vision (1 item) and peripheral vision (1 item). captures the physical, emotional and social aspects of visual disability, Thus, it assesses all aspects of quality of life (QoL) .

FRTVMI

Description

The Full Range Test of Visual Motor Integration is made up of 18 geometric shapes and figures administered to respondents in a seven-page booklet, with six figures in boxes on each page. The geometric designs are to be copied by the respondent directly beneath the figure provided in the test booklet. Several factors have an impact on the length of the test, including the test taker's age, ability to draw the figures accurately, and speed of completing the copying task. Administration of the Full Range Test of Visual Motor Integration usually takes 10 to 30 minutes, and scoring takes another 15 minutes. The test booklet included demographic information.

(OSDI)

Description

The OSDI, which was created by the Outcomes Research Group at Allergan Inc in order to quickly assess the symptoms of ocular irritation in dry eye disease and how they affect functioning related to vision. This 12-item questionnaire assesses dry eye symptoms and the effects it has on vision-related function in the past week of the patient’s life.[6] The questionnaire has 3 subscales: ocular symptoms, vision-related function, and environmental triggers. Patients rate their responses on a 0 to 4 scale with 0 corresponding to “none of the time” and 4 corresponding to “all of the time.” A final score is calculated which ranges from 0 to 100 with scores 0 to 12 representing normal, 13 to 22 representing mild dry eye disease, 23 to 32 representing moderate dry eye disease, and greater than 33 representing severe dry eye disease. The OSDI assesses quality of life measures, which aligns the questionnaire with Federal Food and Drug Administration’s emphasis on utilizing patient-reported outcomes in order to support medicinal product submissions and clinical drug trial efficacy. Tear break up time is another way that clinicians assess dry eye disease. When OSDI and tear break up time were analyzed, a statistically significant inverse correlation between the test scores was found; the higher or worse the OSDI score, the lower or worse the tear break up time was
