What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a clinical register of visual rehabilitation activities and validate the Visual Acuity Low Vision Functional Questionnaire (VA LV VFQ) within the Italian context. It will involve patients aged 18 and older who are receiving visual rehabilitation for various visual pathologies. Participants will be asked to complete the questionnaire to assess their quality of life related to visual impairment. The study will help gather data that can improve rehabilitation services and patient care.
