Methods: Sixty-nine adolescents with HM and 71 healthy participants aged 12\u201317 years and their parents or legal guardians were enrolled in the study. Results: Adolescents with HM showed significantly lower scores on the Physical Well-Being dimension in comparison with controls (p = 0.003), particularly girls with HM in comparison with girls from the control group (p = 0.008), and 15\u201317-year-old adolescents in comparison with same-aged controls (p = 0.020). Girls with HM were characterised by significantly worse scores on the Psychological Well-Being dimension compared with boys with HM (p &lt; 0.042). Sociodemographic factors and refractive error, its duration, and acceptance of disease had no impact on HRQoL. Conclusions: HM may have a negative impact on the HRQoL of children, affecting particularly the physical and psychological well-being of girls. It is important that a holistic approach to the treatment of HM in adolescents is taken by measuring their HRQoL as part of the routine diagnostic process. Use of the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire seems justified as it allows for determination of the type of intervention required to improve the HRQoL of individuals affected by the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13133676","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T08:42:03Z","timestamp":1719218523000},"page":"3676","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Health-Related Quality of Life Using the KIDSCREEN-27 Questionnaire among Adolescents with High Myopia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Joanna","family":"Zawistowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, Medical University of Bialystok, ul.
