ABSTRACT
It is of interest to know how visual disturbances that increase with aging influence
disability for activities. Increased life expectancy has enabled this population may be
greater socioeconomic background and medical implications; it is usual a separation
between the mental and emotional states. The quantitative and qualitative
assessment of visual acuity in both pre and postoperative patients are cataract surgery involves an expectation between life satisfaction and psychological well-being
and their hopes from the point of functional, psychological and emotionally. It is
important to consider that the welfare explains how and why patients experience in
their lives and significantly positive terms. Many psychological discomforts disappear
or are attenuated after cataract surgery. An upward growth between visual gain
related to activities and social roles they play, as well as life satisfaction and
emotional health is estimated.
