Purpose : This study is designed to identify the quality of life and visual functions (VFQ-25) in adults under and over 65.
Methods : Independent sample T-test and correlation analysis of visual function and quality of life according to age were conducted with the Korean version of the quality of life questionnaire and visual function questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) for 79 visitors to the welfare center.
Results : The overall quality of life score of adults was 3.33±0.65 and the overall quality of life score of the elderly was 3.59±0.73. The adult's overall visual function score is 67.56±14.46, and the elderly's total visual function score was 72.63±15.48, indicating that the elderly are higher than adults in the overall visual function score. There were significant differences in social factors between age and quality of life, and only significant differences in age and visual functions were found in limited roles related to vision. Both factors showed that the elderly were higher than adults. The relationship between the visual function of adults and the quality of individual life was shown high, while the visual function of the elderly and the quality of individual life were low in relationship.
Conclusion : It was identified that visual function and quality of life had a positive relationship with age. In order to foster an individual's positive quality of life, it is necessary to consider cultural and environmental factors and periodic visual function tests rather than simply emphasizing individual characteristics.
