Uncorrected distance visual acuity, refraction, and corneal topography were collected. The 20-item QIRC questionnaire was translated to the Arabic language and then back translated to the English language. Participants were asked to answer all items of the Arabic QIRC. The validity and reliability of the translated questionnaire were tested using Rasch analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 145 participants with refractive errors participated in this study. The mean age \u00b1 standard deviation of participants was 26.29 \u00b1 5.1 years. Person separation (2.01) and reliability (0.80) indicates good precision and stability of the Arabic QIRC questionnaire. Item infit was ranged between 0.82 and 1.23; and item outfit was range between 0.76 and 1.32. The items were well targeted to the persons with a mean difference of 0.30. Skew and kurtosis values were within the normal limits (\u22122.00 to + 2.00). Cronbach's \u03b1 for the scale was 0.79, which indicates good reliability of the Arabic 20-item QIRC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Arabic 20-item QIRC questionnaire is a valid tool to assess the impact of refractive correction on Arabian participants\u2019 quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/sjopt.sjopt_117_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,20]],"date-time":"2024-05-20T06:29:15Z","timestamp":1716186555000},"page":"83-89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Validation of the Arabic version of the quality of life impact of refractive correction questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Kholoud A.","family":"Bokhary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elham S.","family":"Alshamrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khalid F.","family":"Jamous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rania","family":"Fahmy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"769","DOI":"10.1097\/00006324-200410000-00009","article-title":"The quality of life impact of refractive correction (QIRC) questionnaire: Development and validation","volume":"81","author":"Pesudovs","year":"2004","journal-title":"Optom Vis Sci"},{"key":"R2-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.12669\/pjms.331.11871","article-title":"Prevalence and causes of visual impairment among Saudi adults","volume":"33","author":"Parrey","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pak J Med Sci"},{"key":"R3-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.12669\/pjms.35.2.648","article-title":"Prevalence and pattern of refractive errors among Saudi adults","volume":"35","author":"Parrey","year":"2019","journal-title":"Pak J Med Sci"},{"key":"R4-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"940","DOI":"10.3889\/oamjms.2018.197","article-title":"Prevalence refractive errors among medical students of Qassim University, Saudi Arabia: cross-sectional descriptive study","volume":"6","author":"Al-Rashidi","year":"2018","journal-title":"Open Access Maced J Med Sci"},{"key":"R5-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1036","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2016.01.006","article-title":"Global prevalence of myopia and high myopia and temporal trends from 2000 through 2050","volume":"123","author":"Holden","year":"2016","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R6-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"431","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.08.055673","article-title":"Potential lost productivity resulting from the global burden of uncorrected refractive error","volume":"87","author":"Smith","year":"2009","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"R7-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(99)00452-3","article-title":"Refractive error study in children: Results from Shunyi district, China","volume":"129","author":"Zhao","year":"2000","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R8-13-20240830","first-page":"327","article-title":"Design of a blindness prevention reporting and planning tool utilising the results of a population based study of visual impairment in a health district in KwaZulu-Natal","volume":"48","author":"Naidoo","year":"2007","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"key":"R11-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2017.10.003","article-title":"Refractive errors & refractive surgery preferred practice pattern\u00ae","volume":"125","author":"Chuck","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R12-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"386","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1444-0938.2012.00761.x","article-title":"Corneal refractive surgery: Past to present","volume":"95","author":"McAlinden","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clin Exp Optom"},{"key":"R13-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2005.08.047","article-title":"Prolonging contact lens wear and making contact lens wear safer","volume":"141","author":"Foulks","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R14-13-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"963","DOI":"10.1097\/OPX.0000000000000928","article-title":"Performance of contact lens solutions study group.
