Purpose: To evaluate the performance of two non-disease-specific patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments, the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (VFQ-25) and the Low Luminance Questionnaire (LLQ), in patients with retinaldehyde-binding protein 1 retinal dystrophy (RLBP1 RD).

Methods: PROs were assessed using the VFQ-25 and LLQ. Rasch analysis was conducted to estimate person and item measures of the VFQ-25 and LLQ questionnaires to determine the association between the two PROs.

Purpose: To assess the progression in functional and structural measures over a five-year period in patients with retinal dystrophy caused by RLBP1 gene mutation.

Methods: This prospective, noninterventional study included patients with biallelic RLBP1 mutations from two clinical sites in Sweden and Canada. Key assessments included ocular examinations, visual functional measures (best-corrected visual acuity [BCVA], contrast sensitivity [CS], dark-adaptation [DA] kinetics up to six hours for two wavelengths [450 and 632 nm], Humphrey visual fields [HVF], full-field flicker electroretinograms), and structural ocular assessments.

Introduction: RLBP1 RP is an autosomal recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), characterized by night blindness, prolonged dark adaptation, constricted visual fields and impaired macular function. This study aimed to better understand the patient experience of RLBP1 RP and evaluate the content validity of existing patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments in this condition.

Methods: Semi-structured concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing interviews were conducted with RLBP1 RP patients in Canada and Sweden.
