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

摘要

PurposeIt is well accepted that conditions that cause central vision loss (CVL) have a negative impact on functional ability and quality of life (QoL), but the impact of diseases that cause peripheral vision loss (PVL) is less well understood. Focusing on glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the effects of CVL and PVL on QoL were compared.
