To determine the association of vision-related quality of life to demographic factors and visual function in glaucoma suspect or early glaucoma patients.. We administered the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) on the same day as a comprehensive ocular examination to participants either with glaucoma or at high risk for developing glaucoma. Regression models were used to determine the association between VFQ-25 composite and subscale scores, VF status, logMAR equivalent VA, age and gender. In all analyses we used data from the eye with the best Mean Deviation (MD), best Pattern Standard Deviation (PSD) and best VA. Data from 198 participants were analyzed. The mean best MD (± standard deviation) was 0.02 ±1.52dB (range; −5.11 to 2.63) and the mean best PSD was 1.75 ±1.03dB (range; 0.91 to 8.36). The mean VFQ-25 composite score was 91.6 ±6.7 (range; 54.5 to 100.0). Composite score, and the distance activities and color vision subscale scores were associated with best MD (p≤0.05). The general vision and driving subscale scores were associated with best VA (p≤0.03). The composite score and the distance activities, driving and color vision subscale scores were associated with age (p≤0.05). Finally, the distance activities, driving and peripheral vision subscale scores were associated with gender (p≤0.04). Vision-related quality of life is associated with visual field status even in early and suspected glaucoma. It is also associated with VA, age and gender. Particular decreases in quality of life are related to distance activities, driving and color vision.
