Abstract
The NEI VFQ-25 includes many items that are applicable to Graves' ophthalmopathy patients. However, it shows significant ceiling effects in more than half of the subscales and it lacks items on issues that are important to Graves' ophthalmopathy patients, such as altered appearance and ocular discomfort. Efforts to develop an HRQL instrument that adds Graves' ophthalmopathy-specific items to relevant aspects of the NEI VFQ-25 are warranted.
