Relationship of visual quality and postoperative dominant eye changes with age-related cataract / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

? AlM To investigate age - related cataract and its postoperative dominant eye changes and visual quality of patients. ?METHODS: Totally 102 patients ( 204 eyes ) with age-related cataract in our hospital from January 2013 to November 2014 were selected, and according to preoperative best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) were divided into two groups, in which the both eyes BCVA difference ≥2 lines ( 78 cases, 156 eyes ) was group A, and both eyes BCVA difference ≤1 line ( 24 cases, 48 eyes ) was group B. Dominant eyes were detected preoperatively and at postoperative 1 and 3mo. Contrast sensitivity and investigated visual satisfaction were tested. ?RESULTS: Preoperative dominant eye corrected visual acuity was 0. 34 ± 0. 11, significantly higher than that of the non-dominant eye (0. 15 ± 0. 09), and there was statistically significant difference ( P 0. 05 ); At postoperative 3mo, 17 cases in the group A had dominant eye changes, and change rate was 21. 79% (17/78). At postoperative 3mo, the dominant eye change rate in the group B was 20. 83% (5/24), and there was no statistical significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). The dominant eye change group and non- change groups patients with different spatial frequency contrast sensitivity test showed no statistical significance ( P >0. 05 ), Postoperative 3mo after operationvisual satisfaction questionnaire display, score of group A was (91. 35±10. 26) points, score of group B was (90. 15±9. 75) points (P>0. 05), the dominant eye change group score was (90. 08±9. 77) points, score non-change group was (91. 43±10. 22) points (P>0. 05). ?CONCLUSlON The dominant eye changes exist in postoperative eyes with age-related cataract, but there is no effect on visual quality.
