Rezumat	The Impact of Vision Impairment (IVI) scale is a quality-of-life instrument designed specifically for patients with significant vision loss (low vision) to measure the psychological, functional, and social burden of visual impairment. Developed by Wolffsohn, Cochrane, and colleagues (2000), the IVI captures domains including emotional impact (distress, frustration), functional limitations (mobility, ADLs), social participation, and role fulfillment in populations with moderate to severe vision loss where generic or mild-vision-focused instruments are insensitive.	The VF-14 is a 14-item, disease-specific functional status questionnaire developed to measure visual disability from cataract and its response to cataract surgery. Created by Steinberg, Tielsch, and colleagues (1994), the VF-14 focuses on difficulty with 14 common daily activities (e.g., reading small print, driving day/night, recognizing faces) and is used primarily to assess cataract severity, prioritize surgery, and document post-operative improvement in functional vision.
