Validation of a French Version of the Visual Function and Corneal Health Status Instrument and Correlation With Vision and Glare Measurements in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.

Purpose: To validate a French version of the Visual Function and Corneal Health Status (V-FUCHS) instrument in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and to correlate questionnaire scores with objective measurements of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular straylight.

Methods: The original V-FUCHS 15-item instrument was designed to assess VA and glare in patients with FECD. It was translated from English to French and back translated to English by independent translators.

Implication of hypocholesterolemia in autism spectrum disorder and its associated comorbidities: A retrospective case-control study.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with low cholesterol levels in a limited number of studies. However, the prevalence of hypocholesterolemia as well as the degree of association with ASD remains to be elucidated. We therefore sought to investigate the lipid profiles of a group of French-Canadian ASD individuals.
