Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of visual field loss on health-related quality of life in glaucoma: the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study.
TL;DR: Greater severity of VF loss in persons with OAG impacts vision-related QOL, and prevention of VFs loss in people who were previously unaware that they had glaucoma is likely to reduce loss of vision- related QOL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severity of Visual Field Loss and Health Related Quality of Life
TL;DR: HRQOL is diminished even in persons with relatively mild VFL on the basis of MD scores, and prevention and management of persons with VFL may be important in preventing or reducing poor HRQOL related to difficulties in driving, distance and peripheral vision activities, and a sense of dependency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and the risk of open-angle glaucoma the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study.
TL;DR: The presence of T2DM and a longer duration of T1DM were independently associated with a higher risk of having OAG in the LALES cohort, and their association in this fastest growing segment of the United States population have significant implications for designing screening programs targeting Latinos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Severity and Bilaterality of Visual Impairment on Health-Related Quality of Life
TL;DR: Because most visual function subscale scores were significantly lower in persons with bilateral mild and/or unilateral/bilateral moderate/severe VI, health care providers should consider intervention in these persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncompliance with Vision Care Guidelines in Latinos with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Los Angeles Latino Eye Study
TL;DR: The data suggest the need to evaluate intervention programs aimed at a targeted group of Latinos with T2DM--those who have less than a high school education, lack health insurance, have had no routine physical examination in the previous year, and have poorly controlled T2 DM.
