Two utility tests, the linear rating scale and the time trade-off, were correlated with Esterman binocular visual field testing and other visual function tests. Utility values that glaucoma and patients suspected of having glaucoma assign to their vision did not correlated well with Esterman results.

This investigation compared two questionnaires: the (MOS SF-36) and the Viswanathan et al. questionnaire to evaluate QOL in patients with glaucoma. The findings indicated that the Viswanathan et al. questionnaire was more useful than the MOS SF-36.
