- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the impact of dominant optic atrophy (DOA) on the visual and psychological morbidity in patients. The study aims to quantify the functional impact of DOA on patients' quality of life and to determine whether the additional neurological burden that develops in DOA further compounds the patients' visual disability. The study showed that patients with DOA experience difficulties in their activities of daily living.
