RODRIGUEZ SUAREZ, Belkys et al. Quality of life in patients with monocular vision after cataract surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2 Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.
Objective:
Evaluate vision-related quality of life in cataract patients treated with induced monovision with monofocal intraocular lens.
Methods:
An experimental before-after one-group study was conducted. A selection was made of 50 presbyopic patients scheduled for cataract surgery. The variables evaluated were uncorrected and best corrected functional vision (near and far visual acuity) and vision-related quality of life (VF-14 questionnaire) before and after surgery.
Results:
Mean age was 59.6 years. Female sex prevailed (60.0 %). Mean uncorrected postoperative visual acuity was 0.80 in the dominant eye and 0.50 in the non-dominant eye, whereas mean spherical equivalent was -0.16 diopters in the dominant eye and -1.68 diopters in the non-dominant eye. Mean uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.80. Of the patients studied, 86.0% did not require eyeglasses after surgery. Average preoperative VF-14 score showed that 50% of the patients had a partial disability to carry out an activity due to visual causes. After surgery no patient had such a visual limitation.
Conclusions:
Cataract surgery improves vision-related quality of life.
