生活质量（QOL）仪器越来越多地用于眼科研究。测量幼儿视力相关的生活质量是复杂的，因为与正常生长和发育相关的能力不断发展。我们的目的是发展视力，相关的生活质量工具，为儿童在不同的年龄范围小于或等于7岁，并提供初步验证这些instrument.Design：横断面研究。方法：设置：多中心。患者：773名儿科患者（年龄：57岁）与广泛的眼科诊断。程序：问卷调查。一个61项的原型仪器与各种各样的项目，适用于403例连续患者。项目的有用性进行了评估，作为一个功能的年龄，以获得两个年龄组的具体工具，并找到划分年龄组的年龄限制。因此，年龄，儿童视觉功能问卷（CVFQ）的特定版本定义为年龄
PURPOSE: Quality of life (QOL) instruments are increasingly utilized in ophthalmological research. Measuring vision-related QOL in young children is complicated by constantly evolving abilities related to normal growth and development. Our aim was to develop vision,related QOL instruments for children in different age ranges less than or equal to7 years, and to provide initial validation of these instruments.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.METHODS:SETTING: Multicenter.PATIENTS: 773 pediatric patients (age :57 years) with a wide range of ophthalmological diagnoses.PROCEDURE: Questionnaire. A 61-item prototype instrument with a wide variety of items was applied to 403 consecutive patients. The usefulness of items was evaluated as a function of age in order to derive two age,group specific instruments and to find the age limit dividing the age groups. Thus, age,specific versions of a Children's Visual Function Questionnaire (CVFQ) were defined for ages
