“…Esta é uma forma mais fidedigna de saber se estes pacientes estão satisfeitos ou não com a visão final, após a cirurgia de catarata. 2 Vale lembrar que o uso do telefone não substitui as consultas presenciais, que são essenciais ao cuidado e acompanhamento, Tais orientações serão promovidas por meio de telemonitoramento, para acompanhamento do paciente após a alta hospitalar, com a finalidade de se garantir recuperação plena da saúde e contribuir para a independência e autonomia desse idoso.…”

“…1 Pode ser considerada a causa tratável de cegueira mais frequente em todo o mundo, acometendo 12 a 50% de pessoas acima de 65 anos e 75% dos indivíduos acima de 70 anos. 2 Embora encontrada predominantemente em populações de adultos e idosos, evidencia-se também a catarata em aproximadamente 5,5 a 12% das crianças portadores de visão subnormal no Brasil. Estima-se que existam cerca de 200.000 crianças cegas no mundo devido à catarata bilateral.…”

“…Estima-se que existam cerca de 200.000 crianças cegas no mundo devido à catarata bilateral. 2 Esse quadro pode ser revertido por intervenção cirúrgica apropriada, denominada facectomia. Tal intervenção possibilita a restauração da visão, cujo tempo de recuperação previsto para retorno às atividades laborais está entre três e sete dias, se estas não exigirem grandes esforços.…”

“…Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) represent a major breakthrough in quality of life and visual expectations, especially with regard to independence from glasses. Evaluation studies of patient satisfaction regarding distance and near vision have shown high levels of satisfaction after the implantation of multifocal lenses 1–3. Despite the benefits of corrected visual acuity at multiple distances, multifocal lenses are associated with certain disadvantages, with halos and glares being the most frequent complaints 4.…”

PurposeTo analyze patient satisfaction and difficulties with bilateral multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation and aspheric monofocal IOLs implantation using monovision, after cataract surgery.Materials and methodsA total of 61 participants were included in the study, 29 with monovision and 32 with multifocal lenses. The inclusion criteria were patients undergoing phacoemulsification for bilateral visual impairment due to cataracts and presenting with postoperative visual acuity of 20/30 or better for distance and line J3 or better for near vision.ResultsThe 2 groups had similar results regarding difficulties with daily activities such as distance vision, near vision, watching television, reading, cooking, using a computer or cellphone, shaving/putting on makeup and shopping. There were differences in responses between the groups regarding difficulty with night vision (P=0.0565) and night driving (P=0.0291). Degree of satisfaction in terms of distance vision without glasses was statistically significantly better in monovision group (P=0.0332), but not for near (P=0.9101).ConclusionBoth techniques yielded satisfactory results regarding visual acuity for different activities without the need to use glasses. Multifocal lenses are a good option for patients with the exception of night driving, and who desire independence from glasses.

Background Despite advances in surgical techniques, cataract remains the leading cause of preventable blindness, and massive surgeries have been adopted as a strategy to change this situation. Monitoring the results of cataract surgeries has become imperative to ensure their quality. Therefore, this study aims to assess the cataract surgery outcomes performed at the Central Hospital of Nampula Mozambique. Methods This is a prospective and longitudinal study in which translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the visual function (VF) and quality of life (QoL) questionnaire were performed. The appearance, content, construct, criterion, internal consistency and responsiveness were validated using the most common methods and indicators. Visual acuity (VA), VF and QoL were evaluated on 447 patients before and after surgery by t-test and effect sizes. Results VF and QoL questionnaires showed one-dimension, good values of TLI (0.973, 0.951) and SRMR (0.057, 0.054), and for each item, weights > 0.7, H2 > 0.5, ranges > 5.8 and the RMSEA < 0.08. Correlations for criterion validity were high and for responsiveness were high for QoL and moderate for VF one and the ordinal Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were greater than 0.97. Difference between VA, VF and QoL before and after surgery was statistically significant (p < 0.001). After surgery, 74.3% of patients had good, 23.5% had borderline and 2.2% had poor VA. Conclusions The cataract surgery outcomes are outside the WHO recommendations regarding VA, but they have had a great impact on improving VF and QoL. The questionnaires showed excellent psychometric properties and should be used in daily clinical practice to evaluate the results of cataract surgeries.
