Background/aimsTo measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with uveitis using time trade-off (TTO) and standard gamble (SG) methods of direct utility analysis.MethodsConsecutive patients attending a tertiary referral uveitis clinic were administered standardised, interview-delivered TTO and SG questionnaires and completed the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions Five Level (EQ5D-5L) questionnaire. Clinical data recorded included best-corrected visual acuity, uveitis anatomical and clinical classifications, duration since diagnosis, disease activity, current medication and any ocular or systemic comorbidities.ResultsTwo hundred patients with uveitis (124 female, 76 male, median age 54 years) were included. Overall mean TTO utility was 0.831 (95% CI 0.802 to 0.860); mean SG utility was 0.868 (95% CI 0.840 to 0.896) and mean EQ5D-5L utility was 0.742 (95% CI 0.702 to 0.782). There was a negative correlation between visual acuity and mean HRQOL (6/12 or better: TTO 0.86, SG 0.893; 6/15–6/60: TTO 0.662, SG 0.742; worse than 6/60: TTO 0.608, SG 0.712). Poor vision in the better- seeing eye (p=0.004), bilateral disease (p=0.047) and concurrent glaucomatous optic neuropathy (p=0.005) were predictors of poor TTO HRQOL. No correlation was found between HRQOL and duration of diagnosis, a flare of uveitis or being on systemic therapy. Patients with uveitis with poor vision have a TTO value worse than patients with end-stage renal failure on haemodialysis or those with AIDS.ConclusionLoss of vision resulting from uveitis is associated with reduced HRQOL. The TTO and SG utility values appear directly dependent on the degree of vision loss and not on the duration of disease or systemic medications.

Background: Patient with vernal keratoconjunctivitis faces significant morbidity, which affects quality of life or; moreover, it can lead to vision threatening, corneal complication in severe cases and chronic cases coupled with potential iatrogenic side effects. Aim of this study to assess the demography, clinical features and quality of life of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis in a centre in South India.Methods: General objective is to access the health related-quality of life and demographic study of VKC patients in a tertiary eye care hospital in south India. KINDL questionnaire with 30 questions is used for 30 paediatric patients. Percentage analysis for clinical assessment and interpretation method for questionnaire was used as statistical method.Results: In clinical assessment papillary reaction (96.66%), giant papillae (83.34%), Horner Trantas dots (20%), shield ulcer (13.35%), corneal erosions (43.33%), conjunctival congestion (76.68%). In case of vision 36.66% had normal vision, 56.67% had mild vision loss, 6.68% with moderate vision loss.Conclusions: VKC affects the health related quality of life of the patients significantly. The management of VKC should consider this aspect of health related quality of life, in addition to clinical parameters. From the assessment of KINDL questionnaire 30 samples 18 patients had high and 12 patients had average quality of life.
