Evaluation of spectacle independence with the Dutch Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire

The authors aimed to evaluate spectacle independence among healthy individuals and cataract patients using a Dutch version of the Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire (PRSIQ). Their findings revealed significant differences in rates of complete spectacle independence across various types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) and refractive targets, although the questionnaire's multidimensional nature limited its use for interval scaling. Overall, the PRSIQ-NL proved to be a useful tool for assessing spectacle independence in clinical and research settings.
