Despite advances in understanding its genetic and clinical aspects, the impact of ADOA on vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) remains poorly characterized.</p><p><strong>Subjects/methods: </strong>This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate VRQoL in 27 patients with molecularly confirmed ADOA using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) and its 10-item Neuro-Ophthalmic Supplement. Clinical and structural parameters, including visual acuity, colour vision, macular volume, and ganglion cell complex thickness, were assessed to explore their association with VRQoL scores.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Significant reduction in VRQoL, with mean composite scores of 74.1 (NEI-VFQ-25) and 69.9 (neuro-ophthalmic supplement) was observed.
