Abstract 

Review of the substantial literature reveals that the importance of performance-based measures of visual function is becoming increasingly recognized. Alone, or in combination with other assessment modalities, they have been shown to provide a reliable and valid means of evaluating visual ability. Further, they have been demonstrated to predict outcomes better than self-report or clinical measures alone.

Key words: performance assessment, performance-based measures, performance measures, quality of life, visual assessment, visual disability, visual function
