This study aimed to investigate the association between daily outdoor activity and patient-reported visual outcomes after cataract surgery under perioperative management using cyclosporine and rebamipide. Methods: This retrospective study included 90 eyes from patients who underwent standardized cataract surgery with implantation of TECNIS Eyhance intraocular lenses. Patients were divided into two groups based on their average daily outdoor activity during the first postoperative month: Group 1 (\u22643 h\/day) and Group 2 (&gt;3 h\/day). Postoperative assessments included Cataract-related Visual Function Questionnaire (CVFQ) scores, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, and ocular surface parameters such as tear breakup time, Oxford score, SICCA score, and OSDI. Results: Group 1 reported significantly higher CVFQ scores for daytime (p = 0.020) and night-time driving (p = 0.037) compared to Group 2, indicating lower levels of visual discomfort in these tasks. No significant differences were observed between the groups for other CVFQ subcategories or ocular surface parameters. Conclusions: Except for driving-related discomfort, no significant differences were found in CVFQ scores between the groups. No difference in ocular surface parameters can be attributed to the perioperative management using cyclosporine and rebamipide. CVFQ may be a useful tool for assessing subjective visual outcomes after cataract surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15131629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]],"date-time":"2025-06-26T11:15:23Z","timestamp":1750936523000},"page":"1629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effects of Outdoor Activity on Patient-Reported Visual Outcomes Under Perioperative Management Using Cyclosporine and Rebamipide"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0830-8885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chung Min","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nahee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6429-0198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min Young","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nahyun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yea Eun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7747-6927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeewon","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4756-0720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayoung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2598-9375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyu Sang","family":"Eah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoo Young","family":"Jeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8735-1684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ho Seok","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8571-8350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae Yong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7225-6580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Institute of Convergence Science and Technology (AMIST), University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Brain Korea 21 Project, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Center for Cell Therapy, Asan Medical Center, Seoul 05505, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.3341\/kjo.2009.23.3.142","article-title":"Cataract and refractive surgery in; A survey of KSCRS members from 1995~2006","volume":"23","author":"Yoon","year":"2009","journal-title":"Korean J.
