Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a neurodegenerative disease of the retina characterized by loss of central vision in old age. In particular, wet-type or exudative AMD, which is characterized by choroidal neovascularization, may cause severe loss of vision in these patients. AMD is the leading cause of central blindness among patients aged over 65 years in developed countries. The prevalence of AMD among individuals aged between 65 and 75 years is 10% and it is 25% among those aged 75 years and over. Patients with AMD may face difficulties in relation to many of the basic activities of daily living, such as writing, housework, self-care, driving and shopping. They may also suffer emotional distress and depression, and have a reduced quality of life (QoL). 1 Furthermore, loss of vision increases the risk of falling and fall-related injuries. 2 In all of its aspects, AMD is recognized as an important public health problem. Although the effects of exudative AMD (e-AMD) on quality of life, depression and physical and mental health have been studied more extensively in well-developed countries, data is relatively lacking from developing or underdeveloped countries. Moreover, differences in its effects may be seen between communities. Different social traits, belief sets and cultural characteristics in different communities may lead patients to be influenced psychologically in different manners from the same disease. The hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) was designed to measure the risks of anxiety and depression and their levels. The test includes two subscales: HADS-A, which assesses anxiety, and HADS-D, which assesses depression, both including seven items. The cutoff points for HADS-A and HADS-D are ten and seven, respectively. Higher scores indicate a greater likelihood

Purpose: To examine the relationship between depression and quality of life in elderly patients with glaucoma. Materials and methods: The study was conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional research. The sample of the work consists of 130 patients aged 60 years and over who were followed up at Mersin University Hospital Ophtalmology Department between 01 October 2016 and 31 March 2017. The data were gathered with Personal Information Form, Geriatric Depression Scale and Modifiye GLAU-QOL 17 Glaucoma Quality of life. Number, percentage, mean, Pearson Correlation, Student`s t test, ANOVA test, Tukey and Games-Howell statistic were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.9±7.27. The mean score of geriatric depression scale of the patients was 15,23±5,52. It was determined that 16,2% of the patiens had possible depression and 62,3% had definite depression. The median Glau–QOL-17 Glaucoma Quality of Life Questionnaire subcale scores of the patients were as follows: daily living (3,58±3,25), driving (3,23±2,53), worry (5,26±3,47), self-assesment (6,4±3,07), psychology (4,08±2,74), feeling oppressed (4,39±2,35) and taking responsibility (3,56±1,86). The mean total score was 34.44±15.29. There was a negative and statistically significant relationship between the age of the patients and the scores of geriatric depression and the scores of age and quality of life. Conclusions: Elderly patients with glaucoma are at a major risk for depression and their quality of life is negatively affected.
