Using FVSQ to identify functional indicators of visual problems among older people residing in nursing homes: a study in Santiago de Compostela

摘要

In this study we use the Functional Vision Screening Questionnaire (FVSQ) to identify functional indicators of visualproblems among a sample of older people living in nursing homes. An important proportion of residents under study havedifficulties on the performance of distance and near vision tasks. We have found a high proportion of blanks in severalitems of the FVSQ that seems to suggest the need to adapt the functional indicators of FVSQ to the vision-dependent dailyactivities of our residents.
