Cross-sectional study reveals key predictors of vision-related quality of life in Polish patients with keratoconus, emphasizing clinical focus on optical quality.
Keratoconus significantly impairs visual functioning and causes a high symptom burden among Polish patients. Best-corrected visual acuity and higher-order aberrations, especially in the worse-seeing eye, are the strongest predictors of reduced vision-related quality of life. These findings emphasize the need to focus clinical management on improving optical quality, rather than solely correcting structural corneal features.
