Summary
The paper discusses the prevalence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in patients with moderate vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and the potential for the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-39) to identify patients at risk of SAD.
Categories
Seasonal affective disorder: The paper investigates the prevalence of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in patients with moderate vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Eye health: The paper discusses the impact of eye health conditions, specifically age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), on the risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Depression: The paper explores the link between eye health conditions and depressive disorders, specifically Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Cognitive function and memory: The paper uses the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-39), a cognitive assessment tool, to identify patients at risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
