| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of
the study was quality of life assessment in patients
with pseudophakia, in whom Nd:YAG capsulotomy due to the
posteriori capsule opacification was performed.
Material and Methods: Total number of 23 patients
(28 eyes) after cataract extraction and intraocular lens
implantation with posterior capsule opacification.
Indication for Nd:YAG capsulotomy was posterior capsule
opacification.
In selected patients anterior segment examination in the
slit-lamp, posterior capsule opacification evaluation in
mydriasis using 1% Tropicamid and anterior segment
colour photograph to document the opacification degree
was performed.
Each patient also filled VFQ-25 questionnaire for
quality of life and visual function level evaluation.
Patients had follow-up visits 2-3 weeks after
capsulotomy. During follow-up examination, except
anterior segment examination in the slit-lamp and photo,
patient once again filled the VFQ-25 questionnaire.
Results: Based on objective tests performance and
subjective patients assessment, significant increase in
quality of life following Nd:YAG capsulotomy was stated.
Except evident direct advantages for patients due to the
performed procedure, there are economic advantages
associated with smaller reliability on the care from the
others, treatment of the possible trauma caused by low
visual acuity and further rehabilitation of such
patients. |
