Translation, Evaluation and Validation of the Adult Strabismus -20 (AS-20) Questionnaire in Swedish.

Purpose: To translate and validate the Adult Strabismus 20 (AS-20) questionnaire, a health-related quality of life questionnaire specifically devised for patients with strabismus.

Methods: The AS-20 was translated in accordance with the principles of good practice for the translation and cultural adaptation process for patient-related outcomes (PRO) according to the methodology recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcome Research (ISPOR).
