PURPOSE: To evaluate eye-related quality of life (ER-QOL) and functional vision in children with deprivation amblyopia due to pediatric cataracts and to assess the impact on their parents.
METHODS: In this prospective cross-sectional study, the Pediatric Eye Questionnaire (PedEyeQ) was used to assess 53 children aged 0-11 years with a history of visually significant unilateral or bilateral cataracts and 182 age-similar controls with normal vision. Parents completed the Proxy and Parent PedEyeQ; children 5-11 years of age completed the Child PedEyeQ. Rasch-calibrated domain scores were scaled from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicate better ER-QOL). Groups were compared using independent t tests with Bonferroni correction and by comparing proportions falling below established normal thresholds.
RESULTS: Children with deprivation amblyopia had significantly lower scores than controls across all child, proxy, and parent domains (all P ≤ 0.0003). Parents reported the greatest impairment in worry about their child's eye condition, proxies reported the lowest scores for functional vision, and children (5-11 years of age) reported the lowest scores for frustration and worry about their eyes. Parent and proxy scores frequently fell below normal thresholds (83%-94% and 58%-89%, resp.), whereas few child self-reports (3%) were subnormal. Domain scores did not differ by laterality, cataract type, or severity of visual acuity deficit.
CONCLUSIONS: Deprivation amblyopia due to pediatric cataracts is associated with substantial reductions in ER-QOL and functional vision for children and a pronounced psychosocial burden for parents, highlighting the importance of addressing broader quality-of-life impact in clinical care.
