Description
Gillian A. Folk, Naomi E. Wagner, Evan H. Walker, and Shyamanga Borooah survey, in a 2026 cross-sectional study, how people with PRPH2-associated retinal degeneration rate their own vision and quality of life. This inherited condition is among the commonest causes of inherited retinal disease. Genetic and clinical features were known, while patient experience was less described.
Twenty-two patients with confirmed disease at one academic center completed the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25, which covers eleven vision domains. The median composite score was 76.9, indicating moderate perceived difficulty. Color vision and eye pain scored highest, while general vision, near and distance tasks, and driving scored lower. Vision-related mental health scored lowest of all, underlining psychological impact. The authors urge routine patient-reported measures in care and in future treatment trials.
