| Popis: | Improving the methodology for assessment of the "quality of life" (QoL) of patients in ophthalmic practice is a regular process aimed at increasing the efficiency of clinical diagnostic examination. An analysis of how the quality of life assessment methodology is being improved in the practice of foreign ophthalmologists reveals two interrelated areas — the introduction of various methods of mathematical analysis in order to confirm the content and constructive validity of the developed questionnaire, as well as the wider distribution of approved questionnaires based on adaptation to a specific state language. The accumulated experience of the authors indicates that the involvement (as experts) of ophthalmologists in the development of a QоL questionnaire, as well as the optimal procedure for scaling patient responses, are effective ways to improve the methodology for assessing QoL, which is confirmed by an assessment of the original QoL questionnaires designed for patients with vitreoretinal pathologies, computer vision syndrome and cataracts. |
