The article discusses various methods for studying the quality of life in all kinds of eye diseases. General and special questionnaires used in modern ophthalmological practice are presented. The presence of a sufficiently large amount of data indicating the relationship between the quality of life and objective indicators of the visual system was established. A fairly good comparability of results obtained in the assessment of various quality of life questionnaires in a patient with ophthalmic condition was revealed.

Introduction: Rhinoplasty improves the facial aesthetics. But the perceived ideal outcome for each patient is different for similar disease. Here comes the role of health-related quality of life questionnaires which determine the improvement based on patient's viewpoint. Materials: A total of 30 patients were enrolled and underwent the procedure of rhinoplasty or septo-rhinoplasty. Quality of life questionnaires (QoL) specic to disease were completed such as ROE (Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation) and NOSE (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) pre-operatively as well as post-operatively at completion of 6 months follow up. Results: The condition of patients signicantly improved related to disease specic questionnaires. The mean pre-operative score for ROE and NOSE is 30.41±16.31 and 61.33±27.06 respectively. While the score improved post-operatively for ROE and NOSE to 82.51±16.01 and 12.40±10.53 respectively. The p value for both scores <0.001 and is found to be highly signicant. Conclusion: The present study concludes that rhinoplasty greatly improves quality of life of patients in terms of functional, physical, emotional and social sufferings postoperatively.

Scoliosis significantly impacts Quality of Life (QOL). Current quality of life questionnaires for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have limitations. A new questionnaire for measuring QOL in AIS called the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) has been developed to address these limitations but the English translation has not yet been validated. To determine the ceiling and floor effects, and the convergent validity of the ISYQOL questionnaire against established QOL questionnaires and Cobb angle in AIS. One hundred consecutive females with AIS, (10–18 years old), treated non-operatively. The English translation of the ISYQOL was compared to the following established questionnaires: Scoliosis Research Society-22r and the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire. The participants were 100 females (13.89+/-1.8 years) with 28.75+/-13.9° curve angles. The convergent validity of the ISYQOL score (60.3+/-12.44) was supported by significant correlation with the SRS-22r total score, function, pain, self-image, and mental health scores (r = 0.70, 0.54, 0.57, 0.52 and 0.50, respectively), and with the SAQ general, waist, and expectations domains (r = -0.6. -.52, and -0.56, respectively). Correlation with the Cobb angle was (r = -.37)(see Table 1). No ceiling effect was observed in the ISYQOL. Ceiling effects were observed for the SRS-22r and the SAQ. The ISYQOL demonstrated evidence of convergent validity. This study supports its suitability for QOL research in AIS. ISYQOL appears more likely to detect changes in evaluative studies than the SRS- 22r and the SAQ.
