“…Two other studies have used conjoint analysis (a broad category of techniques including DCE), in the area of glaucoma, examining the relative importance to patients of characteristics of living with glaucoma and its treatment. 24,25 However, neither of these derived a preference-based utility measure, though a recent study has done this within the area of social care for the elderly. 26 In summary this article estimates utilities for various health outcomes resulting from glaucoma.…”

This study developed a preference-based utility measure (Glaucoma Utility Index) using the DCE approach. The index, estimated on the basis of 286 respondents, demonstrated both theoretical and convergent validity with other generic health outcome measures and measures of glaucoma severity. Further research investigating preferences by clinically defined glaucoma health status is indicated. Methodological research should focus on alternative methods of scaling for use within a generic Quality Adjusted Life Year framework.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] There is a moderate association between a larger visual field defect due to glaucoma and poorer scores on health-related quality of life instruments. [1][2][3]6,7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The previous literature has been somewhat limited in examining the association between field impairment from glaucoma and healthrelated quality of life, because in most prior studies samples have been predominantly White despite the fact the disease is more common in Blacks, and furthermore, the total number of glaucoma cases regardless of race has not been large in many studies.…”

Scores on most subscales of the NEI VFQ-25 and the 2 subscales of the GSS are highly similar in African Americans and Whites of non-Hispanic origin who have been diagnosed with glaucoma. In addition, for both African Americans and Whites, the VFQ subscales for the most part demonstrated good construct validity with respect to the extent of visual field impairment. Results imply that the NEI VFQ-25 and the GSS are appropriate instruments for studying the personal burden of glaucoma in studies whose samples involve both African American and White adults.

“…Outdoor mobility was shown to decrease significantly with increasing field loss. 12 A systematic literature review compared the QoL impact of glaucoma to other chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, type 2 -diabetes, and dementia. The authors found that glaucoma affects patients' QoL as much as other chronic but currently more prevalent diseases.…”

Purpose This review aims to provide guidance in managing glaucoma patients more effectively. It focuses on the importance of detecting progression and measuring its rate within the management of primary open-angle glaucoma today. Recent findings strongly indicate that continued monitoring of visual fields (VFs) and reassessment of target intraocular pressures (IOPs) depending on VF progression rates are mandatory in the management of glaucoma. Methods Data on glaucoma progression from older as well as most recent literature findings are summarized in this article. In addition, the article elaborates on the scientific content from a series of lectures given by experts in the field during several international symposia on 'rate of progression ' in 2008. Results This review summarizes key findings on the natural history of glaucoma and known factors for disease progression. It highlights the visual function changes observed as glaucoma progresses and discusses disease impact on patients' quality of life. Findings support the need to obtain information on rate of progression and its importance for clinical management. Practical ways to measure rate of progression are given by new software options to help measure major parameters. Finally, on the basis of a patient's individual rate of progression therapeutic options are assessed, such as maximum medical therapy with fixed combinations. Conclusions Estimating a patient's individual rate of VF progression by using newly developed analyses will be helpful to forecast the potential future development of the glaucoma. An individualized treatment approach then requires that in patients in whom the risk of becoming visually impaired or blind during their lifetime is higher, a more intensive medical IOP-lowering therapy such as fixed combinations can be considered as treatment option.
