To evaluate tile utility scores in patients with varying degrees of visual morbidity due I o diabetic retinopathy or ARMD. Sub-group analysis revealed that subjects in group I were willing to give up a median of n year as compared to 3 years by the subjects in group 3 for perfect bilateral visual acuity (P < 0.05). The median utility score was 0.94 for group 1.0.96 for group 2 and 0.80 for group 3. While the utility scores for groups 1 and 2 were comparable (P > 0.05), there was a significant difference in the utility scores between groups 1 and 3 and between groups 2 and 3 (P < 0.05). There was no significant effect on the utility scores of age, educational level or prior ocular surgery. Substantial visual loss secondary to diabetic retinopathy or ARMD is associated with a significant decrease in utility scores. However. TTO scores were not sensitive enough to demonstrate a difference between subjects with mild (group 1) and moderate (group 2) visual loss in the better eye secondary to diabetic retinopathy or ARMD.
