The following surgeries were compared: (1) cataract surgery (non-diabetic patients), (2) cataract surgery (diabetic patients), (3) retinal detachment cryo-buckle procedure, (4)\u00a0pars plana vitrectomy, (5) silicone oil removal. VF-14 questionnaire responses, visual function and clinical data of all patients were recorded pre-operatively and 1 and 3 months postoperatively. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; In comparison to vitreoretinal surgery, patients who underwent cataract surgery achieved higher VF-14 scores and required less time to recover from the procedure (1 month). The QOL gain (VF-14 gain) was significantly higher in patients who had undergone retinal detachment surgery and vitrectomy (p &lt; 0.0001). The lowest QOL gain was registered in diabetic patients after cataract surgery. Patients with pre-existing eye disease, including patients with improved visual acuity, were least satisfied with the final outcome of surgery. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; The highest VF-14 score was achieved by patients with no pre-existing ocular disease, who had undergone cataract surgery. The QOL gain was greater in patients with severer initial ocular conditions. Better patient satisfaction can be achieved in patients with pre-existing eye disease by improving pre-operative patient education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000074563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,19]],"date-time":"2003-12-19T09:25:47Z","timestamp":1071825947000},"page":"26-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Visual Function, Quality of Life and Patient Satisfaction after Ophthalmic Surgery: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"218","author":[{"given":"Maneli","family":"Mozaffarieh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"Krepler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harald","family":"Heinzl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Sacu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Wedrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.84.12.1343"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.86.1.12"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.86.12.1330"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(98)95017-5"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(99)00071-9"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(99)00135-2"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.323.7321.1123"}],"container-title":["Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/74563","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/74563","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:54:07Z","timestamp":1745466847000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000074563"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,22]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000074563","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-3755","1423-0267"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0030-3755"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0267"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,22]]}}}
