‘Sydney Eye Podcast’ has released a new episode, this one on the importance of a quality-of-life questionnaire in keratoconus.
Created by Dr Maria Cabrera-Aguas, a researcher at the University of Sydney, Save Sight Institute, the podcast series explores topics related to eye health and answers common questions about eye conditions.
In this sixth episode, Dr Cabrera- Aguas chats with Dr Himal Kandel, a Research Associate at the University of Sydney, Save Sight Institute about the importance of a quality-of-life questionnaire in keratoconus.
“Measuring quality of life, an abstract term, is a bit more complex than measuring length or weight. But a quality-of-life questionnaire can allow us to measure it in a scientific way to find out how keratoconus treatments and disease progression are impacting people’s quality of life,” Dr Cabrera- Aguas stated.
