    • Abstract:
      The article author discusses the use of a standard willingness to pay for a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for vision research. According to the author, the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (NEI VFQ) is the standard for quality of life assessment in people suffering from eye disease. The author says that in QALY, vision researchers face the challenge that the standard is based on perfect health, and not perfect vision.
