Low Vision Quality of Life Questionnaire
The Low Vision Quality of Life Questionnaire (LVQOL) is a comprehensive instrument designed to measure the multidimensional impact of significant vision loss on health-related quality of life in individuals with low vision. Developed by Wolffsohn and Cochrane (2000), the LVQOL incorporates functional, emotional, social, and psychological domains and emphasizes measurement of disability and coping in populations with moderate-to-severe vision impairment where adaptive rehabilitation is the primary intervention.
