Patient-reported outcomes in patients with vitreous floaters: a systematic literature review

Seeking treatment for bothersome vitreous floaters is patient driven. To measure the impact of floaters and treatment on an individual ’s quality of life, patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) are essential. We review all studies using a PROM for patients with floaters. We evaluated content coverage against quality-of-life domains previously identified in other ophthalmic disorders, and against a qualitative study investi gating quality-of-life issues in patients with floaters. We assessed measurement properties of PROMs using an extensive range of psychometric quality criteria.
