Abstract
Background: Cataract is an eye disease that causes the eye’s clear lens to become cloudy. This results in visual impairment and reduces a person's quality of life. Cataracts impair a person’s ability to see at a distance, resulting in impediments to mobility related to dependency, such as the ability to recognize people and to see and avoid obstacles on the road. Cataracts can also impair a person’s ability to see at close range. Cataract patients can therefore experience difficulty in performing activities such as dressing, reading, and sewing. One way to treat cataracts is by performing cataract surgery using the phacoemulsification technique. This surgery allows the lens to heal naturally without the need for stitches, enabling the patient to resume their daily activities and improve their quality of life. Objective: To find the difference in quality of life between pre- and post-senile cataract surgery patients using phacoemulsification technique at PHC Surabaya Hospital. Method: Quality of life scores were collected using a quality of life research questionnaire for senile cataract patients, containing 25 question items divided into 11 subscales. Data collection will be carried out twice: before phacoemulsification cataract surgery and 8 weeks after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Results: There is a significant difference between pre- and post-cataract surgery quality of life using phacoemulsification technique, based on the quality of life research questionnaire for senile cataract patients at PHC Surabaya Hospital, with the result (P = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the quality of life between pre- and post- phacoemulsification cataract surgery at PHC Surabaya Hospital, based on the cataract patient quality of life research questionnaire.
