Health-related quality of life questionnaire for corneal anaesthesia patients: a content validity assessment.
Observational study in Eye (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFACE-Q Craniofacial Module is a validated patient-reported outcome measure for appearance. This study aimed to assess the content validity of FACE-Q Craniofacial Module for use in patients treated for corneal anaesthesia. SUBJECTS/
methodsThis was a qualitative, prospective observational study. Cognitive debriefing interviews were conducted with patients ≥8 years old who had surgical treatment for corneal anaesthesia at least six months before time of study. Two rounds of interviews gathered feedback on the comprehensibility, comprehensiveness, and relevance of three eye scales and checklists and four health-related quality-of-life scales. Based on the input from participants, ophthalmologists, scientists, and patient advocates, the scales and checklists were modified, then further refined.
resultsFeedback on the FACE-Q scales and checklists was obtained from 10 participants. Instructions for the scales were modified to enhance comprehensibility. Eleven items were revised for enhanced comprehensibility and relevance. Twelve items were added to enhance comprehensiveness. Four items were removed due to their irrelevance to appearance or corneal anaesthesia. Modifications to the eye and health-related quality-of-life scales were generally condition-specific and generic, respectively. A comment section was added to the end of each scale and checklist.
conclusionsThe FACE-Q demonstrates strong potential for adaptation to measure appearance outcomes in corneal anaesthesia patients. With lived expertise, clinical, and scientific input, the content validity of FACE-Q was improved for use in corneal anaesthesia patients. The modified FACE-Q is now ready for psychometric evaluation and further validation.
