The ophthalmology clientele is vulnerable in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic because of their age and comorbidities. Specifically, elderly patients aged 65 and above with glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy require regular follow-ups and commonly suffer from additional comorbidities. Further, because of the proximity between the patient and health care personnel during ophthalmological examinations, the risk of infection during visits is significant. The delicate balance between the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and visual loss in delaying cases is a psychological stressor to both patients and clinicians. A cross-sectional study accumulating the data of 425 patients aged 65 and above with various eye diseases will be conducted. Participants will be presented with a set of online questionnaires designed to collect data on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), vision-related quality of life (VRQOL), depression symptoms, anxiety, sleep quality, community integration, and their experience with tele-consultations. This study can help quantify the collateral impact of the COVID-19 beyond the direct impact of the virus, to improve future quality of care guidelines on non-COVID-19 conditions, and to help plan patient prioritization once restrictions are eased.

health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
HRQoL is an essential measure of quality of life related to health; it helps physician identify hidden morbidity in clinical care as well as improves patient-physician communications. HRQoL will be measured using time trade-off questionnaire. It is measured in a scale of 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. This means that 0 indicates poor HRQoL and 1 indicates perfect health.

The code key with identifying data (ID #, phone #, date of birth, date of first assessment/consent, date of exit from the study, and any adverse events) will be stored in a password-protected and encrypted spreadsheet on the hospital network shared drive. We do not anticipate the questionnaire data collection to take longer than 12 months, and do not anticipate data analysis to take longer than 12 months thereafter (total of 12 months' time), with an absolute maximum of 15 years in post study completion prior to destruction of the data.
