摘要：

Purpose: To assess whether improvements in measurable health-related quality-of-life (HR-QoL) functions parallel the rapid visual recovery after phacoemulsification. Setting: The Cataract Treatment Center, Sunderland Eye Infirmary, Sunderland, England. Methods: This study comprised 144 patients having first-eye phacoemulsification cataract extraction, They were assessed using a standard EuroQoL generic (non-disease specific) multidimensional HR-QoL instrument to evaluate preoperative and 1 month postoperative health profile measures in social, psychological, and general health aspects. Results: Within 1 month of phacoemulsification, change in vis on was accompanied by significant changes in HR-QoL functions such as home activities, social activities, self-care, mobility, and psychological well-being. Conclusion: The speed of visual rehabilitation after phacoemulsification was paralleled by improvement across HR-QoL functions, resulting in the rapid recovery of functional independence and health status.
