Correlation between the binocular visual field and visual function quality of life in patients with primary chronic glaucoma
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 6
Abstract
[Objective:] To assess the correlation between the Esterman binocular visual field (EBVF) and the visual function quality of life (VFQ) in primary chronic glaucoma patients. [Methods:] It is a retrospective case series study. One hundred and thirty-one patients, that is to say, two hundreds and sixty-two eyes, with primary chronic glaucoma satisfying the methodological criteria were recruited for this study, who were chosen from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2010 to August 2010. The Humphrey Field Analyzer Model II 750i (Humphrey Instruments, Zeiss Company) was used to perform an Esterman binocular visual field test (EBVFT) and bilateral monocular full-threshold central visual field testing using the 24-2 SITA Standard program. Visual acuities were examined by logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) scale. Intraocular pressure and cup-disc ratio were also recorded. The history with glaucoma and anti-glaucoma drugs, and the state of the cornea and crystalline lens were also remarked. All interviews were administered face to face by the same experienced interviewer, by using the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25). Agreement between the scores from these tests and the VFQ-25 was evaluated. [Results:] A total of 131 patients were recruited. In the statistics of the quality of life, seven domain scores of the VFQ-25 (self-assessment vision, color vision, near action, distant action, social function, mental health and peripheral vision) were better than the others, which meant the ability of completing the seven domain was higher. Substantial agreement was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the Esterman test (r=0.24998, P=0.004<0.05), strong negative correlation was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the binocular visual acuity of daily life (r=−0.37778, P<0.0001), and positive correlation was found between the composite score of the VFQ-25 and the MD of the worse eye (r=0.22917, P=0.0187<0.05). [Conclusion:] In this sample of clinic-based patients with primary chronic glaucoma, the efficiency score of the binocular visual field tests correlated well with the composite score of the VFQ-25. Binocular visual function can be well used in evaluating the quality of life of the glaucoma patients.
