Introduction
Our purpose was to identify to what extend cataract influences the quality of life of the affected patients. Material and methods The examinations were conducted in a sample of patients treated from October 2005 to December 2006. To assess the quality of life the V-14 Questionnaire was used, modified and adapted up to local (Polish) conditions. Results and Conclusions Cataract and the duration of waiting time for the cataract surgery together impaired psychological state. Cataract significantly decreased individual independence. Cataract extraction significantly improved quality of life, particularly regarding reading, self-care activity, topographical orientation and subjective perception of psychological state. keywords:
