TL;DR: The aspects of visual function that best predict the ability of a patient with glaucoma to perform activities of daily living are binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.

TL;DR: ADREV provides valid estimates of how visual loss due to glaucoma affects the ability to perform activities of daily living and how patients rated their own visual ability with how they performed when objectively tested.

TL;DR: The amount of binocular VF loss and the status of the better eye most accurately predict functional ability and quality of life in glaucoma.

TL;DR: Methodology of this study should provide information about disability caused by visual loss, specifically glaucoma, how difficulties in performing activities relate to standard clinical tests, and how they correlate to quality of life from patient's point of view.

TL;DR: In this article, a third-generation, performance-based measure, Assessment of Disability Related to Vision (ADREV), nine tasks to simulate daily living activities; including reading in reduced illumination, recognizing facial expression, detecting motion, recognizing street signs, locating objects, ambulating, placing pegs into different sized holes, telephoning, and matching socks.
