Annotation:

Introduction. The article is devoted to assessing the quality of life of patients with cataracts before and after a phacoemulsification, with the use of complex keratoprotection.

Aim. To evaluate the possibility and effectiveness of using the new original questionnaire in the context of using complex keratoprotection after cataract surgery. Evaluate the quality of life of patients with cataracts before and after a phacoemulsification using complex keratoprotection.

Materials and methods. We have proposed a new original questionnaire, developed on the basis of the General Short Form Medical Outcomes Study (SF-36) and a special Catquest 9SF questionnaire, which allows us to assess the quality of life of patients in the elderly and senile age with visual impairment.

Results and discussion. To assess the impact of visual disorders and clinically active keratoprotection on the quality of life of patients with cataracts, the “Questionnaire for determining the medical and social effectiveness of keratoprotection” was compiled.

Conclusion. It is advisable to assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive method of keratoprotection with a special original “Questionnaire to determine the medico-social efficiency of keratoprotection”, the essence of which is to evaluate the nature of changes in the physical, psychological, emotional status of patients before and after treatment and quality of life in general, and assessing the effectiveness of complex keratoprotection in elderly and senile age, also reflecting the state of visual functions, the range of possibilities in everyday life, mental and social well-being of patients.
