VFQ-25 questionnaire was administered to measure QoL scores. Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05 was taken as significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Eighty-eight respondents completed the questionnaire. Mean age of participants was 40.272 \u00b1 9.35 years (range: 23\u201355 years). Forty-three (48.9%) and 45 (51.1%) participants had OT and NTOD, respectively. The most common cause was traumatic optic neuropathy (21.6%) followed by corneal causes (19.4%). Low visual QoL scores were reported in all the cases (57.52 \u00b1 16.08). Between OT and NTOD, a significant difference in terms of age (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001) and general vision (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03) was seen. Lowest scores were for driving. Based on VD%, 77 cases had \u226440 and the rest had >40% VD with a significant difference in overall mean scores (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03), specifically in domains of general vision (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.00), near activities (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.00), and driving (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.007). QoL was decreased in each subscale of \u226440%VD group, who faced the same predicament everywhere as by the cases with more disability.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Ocular morbidity is associated with low QoL, predominantly in domains like general vision, near activities and driving. The RPwD Act leaves out a huge population with VD without any government benefits. One might need to consider other vision-related factors also to provide them with social, psychological, and employment benefits.<\/jats:p>\n
