Health-related quality of life in Ahmed FP7, and Baerveldt 250 and 350 patients compared with medical controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Glaucoma patients with a younger age, diplopia, lower visual acuity, worse mean deviation or a GDD had lower HRQoL. Those with B350 had lower self-perception scores, consistent with previous reports in the literature. This subscale was not diminished in FP7 or B250, so the decreased self-perception scores may be due to greater visibility or awareness of the B350.
