The questions were divided into 12 domains totalling 817 unique questions. All responses were scored on the response quality by two experienced pediatric ophthalmologists in a Likert-scale format.

None of the responses were scored to be completely incorrect. Average FKGL score was 14.49 [95% CI 14.4004-14.5854] and the average character count was 1825.33 [95%CI 1791.95-1858.7] with p = 0.831 and 0.697 respectively.
