A new Chinese visual function assessment (VFA) is reliable and valid for cataract surgery patients. Self-administration may yield better results than interviews for this vision assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Cataract surgery outcomes require reliable patient-reported visual function data.
  • Cross-cultural adaptation of assessment tools is crucial for diverse patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a Chinese-language visual function assessment (VFA) for routine cataract surgery evaluation.
  • To determine the impact of questionnaire administration method on VFA reliability and validity.

Main Methods:

  • Translated the English VFA into Chinese.
  • Recruited Chinese patients (English-speaking and non-English-speaking) undergoing cataract surgery.
  • Administered the questionnaire via in-person or telephone interviews; analyzed reliability and correlation with visual acuity.

Main Results:

  • The Chinese VFA demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.97).
  • High reliability and test-retest reproducibility were confirmed (ICC > 0.60).
  • Administration method influenced reliability and reproducibility measures.

Conclusions:

  • The Chinese VFA is a reliable and valid tool for clinical evaluation and research.
  • This assessment is valuable in regions with significant Chinese-speaking populations.
  • Self-administered questionnaires appear more reliable than interview-based assessments.
