Patient-reported Vision Quality-of-life in Parkinsonian Syndromes and Ataxias and Association with Clinical Oculomotor Findings

Key Points

• Reduced vision quality-of-life is significantly linked to impairments in visual processing speed, particularly in ataxias.
• Key finding shows gaze-evoked nystagmus as a major predictor of lower vision quality-of-life scores in the ataxia group.
• Patient-reported outcomes were employed alongside clinical oculomotor assessments to evaluate visual disability effectively.
• This underscores the importance of integrating visual quality measures in both clinical evaluations and trials for better patient care.
