Abstract

Purpose: To study the effect of surgical treatment of vitreous opacities (VO) on the state of quality (QOL) of patient’s life.

Methods: We examined 35 patients who underwent surgical treatment of VO. State of QOL was assessed by questionnaire VFQ-25 before surgery and at 1 week and 6 months of its implementation.


Results: In the study of QOL before surgery, there was a significant reduction of the total QOL index by an average of 15 % relative to the control group (p <0.05). In the late postoperative period recorded a progressive increase in the total index of QOL, which then reached values of the control group (p> 0.05).


Conclusion: Vitrectomy to treat the vitreous opacities improves the visual function and quality of life for patients.
