- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of low-vision-specific function and daily living measures (LVFAM) in understanding patient-reported outcomes for individuals with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).
- The research involved a survey conducted with 15 RP patients between May and July 2023, where various visual acuity and macular sensitivity metrics were analyzed alongside their LVFAM scores.
- Results indicated a positive correlation between visual acuity and low-vision functions, while macular sensitivity showed a negative correlation, highlighting the variation in responses to different survey items.
