Abstract

Introduction: Visual impairment affects the quality of life of a person and endangers his mental and social health and reduces his social activities and independence. Therefore, clinical assessment of health-related quality of life in ocular patients is considered and the effects of the disease on their quality of life are investigated. Materials and Methods: The research method used in this research is descriptive of the "Futuristic cohort study" type. Two groups of patients were followed up for 6 months. The study population is all patients referred to Farabi Hospital in a two-month period who suffer from myopia more than 10 and keratoconus. Their quality of life was checked before surgery, and then during two periods of three months and six months after surgery. The quality of life was evaluated with the American National Ophthalmology Research Institute questionnaire. Results: The results of this study indicate a significant difference in the variable score of quality of life and its dimensions before and after surgery in myopia patients, but there is no significant difference in the variable score of quality of life and its dimensions before and after the operation in patients with keratoconus. Conclusion: Although the score and average quality of life of keratoconus patients increased slightly after the operation compared to before the operation, this increase in the quality of life score is not enough to significantly increase their satisfaction and quality of life.
