Abstract

Background/Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) using the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire among adolescents with high myopia (HM). Methods: Sixty-nine adolescents with HM and 71 healthy participants aged 12–17 years and their parents or legal guardians were enrolled in the study. Results: Adolescents with HM showed significantly lower scores on the Physical Well-Being dimension in comparison with controls (p = 0.003), particularly girls with HM in comparison with girls from the control group (p = 0.008), and 15–17-year-old adolescents in comparison with same-aged controls (p = 0.020). Girls with HM were characterised by significantly worse scores on the Psychological Well-Being dimension compared with boys with HM (p < 0.042). Sociodemographic factors and refractive error, its duration, and acceptance of disease had no impact on HRQoL. Conclusions: HM may have a negative impact on the HRQoL of children, affecting particularly the physical and psychological well-being of girls. It is important that a holistic approach to the treatment of HM in adolescents is taken by measuring their HRQoL as part of the routine diagnostic process. Use of the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire seems justified as it allows for determination of the type of intervention required to improve the HRQoL of individuals affected by the disease.
