Purpose : This study aimed to evaluate the presence of hypertension and diabetes and the effects of maximum corrected visual acuity on the visual quality of life in disabled and non-disabled persons.
Methods : Blood pressure and blood glucose levels were monitored, the NEI VFQ-25 was used to assess the quality of life, and each group was categorized according to whether or not they had been given a diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes. In addition, the maximum corrected vision was examined to analyze its correlation with the quality of life.
Results : The correlation between the visual questionnaire and disability status was analyzed with the highest negative correlation of ?0.222 for social functioning related to vision, and for near vision, it was ?0.214. Regarding hypertension, the correlations ranged from ?0.240 for vision-related mental health to ?0.206 for overall vision. Concerning diabetes, role limitations had the highest correlation of ?0.157, while maximum corrected visual acuity had significantly moderate negative correlations with all survey questions except overall health and driving, ranging from ?0.816 to ?0.430.
Conclusions : The strongest correlations were found for social function based on the presence of disability, for hypertension in mental health, for diabetes in role limitations, and for hypertension. In addition, it was found that in terms of maximum corrected visual acuity, the negative impact on the visual quality of life was greater as the maximum corrected visual acuity deteriorates in all detailed areas other than overall health and driving.
