Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed the low-vision-specific function and activities of daily living measure (LVFAM), which is a scale for assessing the activities of daily living (ADL) of persons with low vision in two domains. It is composed of a 23-item the low-vision-specific function of daily living (LVFDL) and a 9-item the low-vision-specific activities of daily living (LVADL). LVFDL assesses a three-category and LVADL assesses a four-category. We verified the psychometric characteristics of this measure.
