National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25

The NEI-VFQ-25 is a 25-item self-report questionnaire measuring the impact of vision loss on health-related quality of life across multiple functional and psychological domains. Developed by the National Eye Institute (Mangione et al., 2001), it is the most widely used vision-specific QoL instrument in ophthalmology and serves as the gold standard for quantifying patient-reported visual disability across diverse eye conditions.
