Swedish version of the Massof activity inventory to measure vision‐related activity difficulties among patients with nAMD

Aims/Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess vision‐related activity difficulties among patients with neovascular AMD using a Swedish version of the mass of activity inventory (MAI). Methods: Participants were patients diagnosed with neovascular AMD receiving treatment for the disease in a hospital in southeast Sweden. Participants completed the Swedish version of the MAI questionnaire. MAI can be used to measure the overall visual ability and visual ability in 4 functional domains: reading, mobility, visual motor function and visual information processing. Best corrected distance and near visual acuity (VA) were also measured. Results: Among the 196 participants (mean age = 78.5 years, SD = 7.67, 66% female) the median VA in the better seeing eye was 0.18 logMAR (IQR = 0.34), and in the worse eye was 0.54 logMAR (IQR = 0.98). The median visual ability for all participants was 1.92 logits (IQR = 2.69). There was a significant negative correlation between distance VA in the better eye and visual ability (rho = −0.4025, p
