Visual function parameters are important for the vision-related quality of life of Korean glaucoma patients, notably for worse eye visual acuity and IVF MD. However, social factors, self-assessed personality, and treatment-related issues are also substantial predictors of overall life quality.
The mean MD value was −7.80±7.63 dB for 1350 monocular VF, −6.73±6.81 dB for patients with NTG, and −9.38±8.60 dB for patients with POAG. However, the IVF MD value was −3.68±5.32 dB for both groups, −3.48±5.38 dB for patients with NTG, and −3.99±5.20 dB for patients with POAG, which was not significantly different.
The fundamental goal of treatment of patients with glaucoma is to preserve their vision-related quality of life (VRQOL). The aim of this study was to compare vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) between patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and those with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

May 2, 2022 · Abstract. Prcis: Although there was little difference in overall vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) between patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) after controlling for confounding factors, POAG tended to have poorer VRQOL, especially in social functioning and dependency, than NTG.

Feb 2, 2022 · Among the reviewers, Dr. Ji Hyun Baek (Sungkyunkwan University, Korea), Dr. Jaehun Jung (Gachon University, Korea), Dr. Tsvetoslav Antonov Georgiev (Medical University of Varna, Bulgaria) were awarded as the best reviewer for JKMS in 2021.
Results: Mean deviation (MD) of the IVF at superior centre showed the lowest value among the four regions. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed significant correlation of the composite score and all subscales of the NEI VFQ-25 except ocular pain and near activities at each of four IVF regions.
