Psychometric Evaluation of Glaucoma Quality of Life Item Banks (GlauCAT) and Initial Assessment Using Computerized Adaptive Testing.

Following rigorous psychometric assessment, we developed 12 valid glaucoma-specific QoL domains that can obtain highly precise person measure estimates using a small number of items.

Identifying content for the glaucoma-specific item bank to measure quality-of-life parameters.

The systematic content identification process identified 10 QOL domains, which were important to patients with glaucoma.
