The objective was to improve the visual acuity (VA) before facectomy and at the 15th-day of the post-operative phase, and its impact on elderly quality of life. We developed a prospective study, with 156 patients submitted to facectomy in an ophthalmologic campaign. According to the Snellen table, the mean VA in logMAR at 15 days post-surgery improved from 1.23 to 0.57 for elderly (p=0.000). When comparing the quality of life means using the quality of life tool Visual Functioning Questionnaire (VQF-25), the subdomain general vision presented the highest difference between means before and after facectomy (from 29.65 to 89.87). The correlation analysis pointed that the VA improved general satisfaction for far activities, ocular pain, mental health, and dependency, resulting in a positive impact on elderly quality of life. We brought up indicators to guide a more individualized therapy. |
