Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the impact of phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens implantation on the functional balance skills of adults. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included patients with cataract who were recommended phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens implantation between May and October 2016. The Berg Balance Scale and Tinetti Gait and Balance Test were performed by a physical therapy specialist before and 1 month after surgery. Patients were analyzed in terms of age, visual acuity, and balance. Balance scores before and after cataract surgery were compared. We also compared patients with high (≤2 LogMAR) and low (>2 LogMAR) visual acuity. P values below 0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. Results: Fifty-one patients (27 female and 24 male, mean age 66.96 years) were included in the study. One month after surgery, the patients’ Berg Balance scores and Tinetti Gait and Balance scores were increased by 3.60±5.00% and 4.14±6.55%, respectively. Postoperative increase in visual acuity was significantly greater in the 16 patients with visual acuity less than 0.05 (>2 LogMAR) (p=0.036), but balance scores were not significantly different. Conclusion: Visual acuity is significantly improved one month after cataract surgery, which also leads to significant increases in low functional balance scores among patients with poorer vision. The rapid increase in vision after cataract surgery enhances balance skills, resulting in safer mobility and increased quality of life.

Özet

Amaç: Fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi ve göz içi lens implantasyonunun, yetişkin bireylerin fonksiyonel denge becerileri üzerine olanetkisini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışmada, Mayıs-Ekim 2016 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde katarakt tanısıyla fakoemülsifikasyonve göz iç lens implantasyonu cerrahisi önerilen yetişkin hastalara ameliyattan önce ve ameliyattan bir ay sonra fizik tedavi uzmanlarıtarafından Berg Denge, Tinetti Yürüme ve Denge Testleri yapıldı. Kadın ve erkek hastalar, yaş, görme keskinliği ve denge açısındandeğerlendirildi ve aralarındaki ilişki hesaplandı. Katarakt ameliyatı öncesi ve sonrası denge skorları kıyaslandı. Yüksek (≤LogMAR 2)ve düşük (>LogMAR 2) görme keskinliğine göre gruplar da karşılaştırıldı. İstatistiki olarak 0,05’in altındaki p değerleri anlamlı olarakkabul edildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 27 kadın, 24 erkek toplam 51 hasta dahil edildi. Yaş ortalaması 66,96 olan hastaların ameliyattan sonraki ilkayın sonundaki Berg Denge skorlarında %3,60±5,00, Tinetti Yürüme ve Denge skorlarında %4,14±6,55 artış olduğu kaydedildi.Ameliyat öncesi görme keskinliği 0,05’in altında olan (>LogMAR 2) 16 hastada ilk aydaki görme keskinliği artışı anlamlı olarak dahafazla bulundu (p=0,036) ancak denge skoru artışında iki grup arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı.Sonuç: Katarakt cerrahisi sonrası bir ay içinde görme keskinliği anlamlı olarak artmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak da görme yetersizliğifazla olan kişilerde düşük bulunan fonksiyonel denge skorları katarakt ameliyatıyla anlamlı olarak yükselmektedir. Ameliyat sonrasıgörme fonksiyonlarındaki bu hızlı düzelme, hastaların denge becerilerini arttırarak daha rahat ve güvenli hareket etmelerine dolayısıylayaşam kalitelerinin yükselmesine sebep olmaktadır.
