Vision-ADL/Evidence
Method evidence record

Vision-ADL

The Vision-Related Activities of Daily Living (Vision-ADL) Scale is a comprehensive instrument measuring self-reported difficulty with vision-dependent daily activities across a wide spectrum of vision loss severities. Developed by Massof, Stelmack, and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Low Vision Clinic and VA Low Vision Service, the Vision-ADL employs adaptive item administration—presenting only vision-dependent activities relevant to the patient's functional level—to maximize responsiveness and precision across mild to profound vision loss.
