Health- and Vision-Related Quality of Life Among Patients With Ocular Histoplasmosis or Idiopathic Choroidal Neovascularization at Enrollment in a Randomized Trial of Submacular Surgery

摘要

ObjectivesTo (1) summarize vision-targeted and general health-related quality-of-life scores at baseline and quantify the effect of the ophthalmic problem, (2) evaluate the strength of relations between visual acuity and interview scores, and (3) compare scores for patients who also had choroidal neovascular lesions in the fellow eye (bilateral cases) with those of patients who had choroidal neovascularization in only the study eye (unilateral cases) at time of enrollment in a randomized trial of surgical removal of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization, either associated with the ocular histoplasmosis syndrome or of idiopathic origin.
