Question: How does the duration and number of symptoms that patients with Inherited Retinal Diseases have affect their vision-related anxiety?Findings: In this cross-sectional study of 126 patients with Inherited Retinal Diseases, the number of symptoms, but not the duration of symptoms, was associated with higher vision-related anxiety. Patients with symptoms for longer than 25 years had less vision-related anxiety.Meaning: Patients with more vision-related symptoms may experience more vision-related anxiety.
