Resumen
PEREZ ALEMANY, Miguel E. et al. Life quality in patients operated for senile cataract. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.11, pp. 8008-8016. ISSN 1029-3019.
A quasi-experimental study, of therapeutic intervention was carried out in 95 operated patients for cataract by means of the Blumenthal technique and implant of intraocular lens in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from April, 2012 to March, 2013, in order to characterize them according to variables of interest for the investigation (age, sex, coexistence and visual acuity before and after the surgery), as well as to estimate the magnitude of the life quality modification according to psychosocial and physical aspects. Females from 60-69 year and people who live accompanied by others prevailed in the case material. After the surgery a satisfactory visual recovery was achieved and, in fact, a better life quality.
