“…However, it increased two months after the surgery and at follow-up. The studies by Hariprasad et al and Hirneiss et al in Germany revealed that visual acuity and vision-related quality of life before retinal surgery in various retinal disorders, such as macular degeneration and retinopathy, decreased (44,45). The results of this study are not consistent with the present research findings.…”

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and subsequent retinal detachment are one of the most common disorders in the elderly, which are treated with surgery. Performing eye surgery leads to psychological distress and affects the lives of the patients. The current study was an attempt to determine the predicting role of preoperative knowledge and self-efficacy in postoperative anxiety, depression, and vision-related quality of life among elderly patients with macular degeneration undergoing retinal surgery in Shiraz, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional cohort study, 168 elderly patients with AMD who were candidates for retinal surgery were selected to be studied using purposive sampling. The study tools include the Persian version of HADS questionnaire, visual function index (VFQ-14), and self-efficacy and knowledge questionnaire, which were filled out by the elderly patients in three stages: before the surgery, after the surgery, and at follow-up. Partial correlation coefficient and General Linear Model analysis were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Results:The results revealed that there was a significant relationship between preoperative self-efficacy and depression (P = 0.01) and vision-related quality of life (P = 0.05), as well as between preoperative knowledge and depression (P = 0.05) at follow-up (two months after the surgery). According to the general linear regression analysis, preoperative self-efficacy was identified as the predictor of depression and vision-related quality of life at follow-up. In addition, preoperative knowledge was recognized as the predictor of depression. Conclusions: Based on the results, in designing training interventions, self-efficacy and knowledge need to be considered as the important predictors of patients' psychological outcomes after the surgery.

“…Worth noting is the fact that NEI VFQ-25, although not the UAB-LLQ and WPAIQ, has been used previously to study the effects of diabetic retinopathy on vision-related quality of life. [15][16][17] However, as these data were generated from 55 community-and university-affiliated sites across the United States, we believe the patient-centered outcome responses are likely generalizable throughout the United States. Patients with the same clinical features from other countries may respond differently because of cultural influences on responses to these questionnaires.…”

“…4 It must be noted that of the visually disabling conditions in persons with diabetic eye disease, diabetic macular edema (DME), left untreated, is a common cause of vision loss.DME affects central vision and can lead to decline in vision ranging from slight visual blurring to blindness, substantially affecting independence and quality of life. 7,8 There are no comprehensive documentation, in available literature about prevalence, appearance, progression and associated visual loss in diabetic population with specific reference to macular edema.…”

0% and 24.3% in NPDR and PDR types. Statistically, this difference was not significant (p=0.226). Conclusion:The overall prevalence of DME in diabetics with Diabetic Retinopathy is 29%.Prevalence of DME is more in NPDR and increases with severity of NPDR. The prevalence of DME pattern of diffused retinal thickening is most followed by cystoid macular edema and serous retinal detatchment among subjects with diabetic retinopathy.

Vision-related quality of life in patients with diabetic macular oedema

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes patients with macular oedema experience a decreased VR-QOL compared with type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or cataracts. However, VR-QOL in type 2 diabetic patients with macular oedema was similar to those individuals with ARMD.
