ABSTRACT

Objective: Determine the vision-related quality of life of patients undergoing cataract surgery at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from January to July 2017.
Methods: A prospective longitudinal descriptive study was conducted based on consecutive recruitment of all the patients undergoing cataract surgery in the study period who met the inclusion criteria. The NEI-VFQ-23 questionnaire was applied to all participant patients before the operation and one month after surgery. Results of the questionnaire were correlated with age, visual acuity and the presence of complications.
Results: The study sample was 205 patients (410 eyes); mean age was 69.7 years. 55.1 % of the patients were female; 67.3 % presented some sort of systemic comorbidity; and 23,4 % had a history of disease and/or eye surgery. Visual acuity improved during the postoperative period. Vision-related quality of life is notably better after cataract surgery. These results vary according to age, the presence of systemic comorbidities and ocular antecedents. The study is clinically and statistically significant.
Conclusions: Cataract surgery significantly improves the vision-related quality of life of patients.
