The VF-14 and Psychological Impact of Amblyopia and Strabismus

Abstract

Subjective visual and psychological functions are altered compared with normal subjects due to amblyopia, strabismus, and a previous unpleasant patching experience. The mean VF-14 score was similar to that previously published for patients with glaucoma. The study underlines that amblyopia and/or strabismus have an impact on teenagers' subjective visual function and well-being.
