Modern aspects of medical and social rehabilitation of patients with glaucoma
To achieve this goal, we conducted a study of quality of life indicators in 195 patients with glaucoma who underwent surgical treatment. The term from the moment of surgical treatment was from 3 to 5 years. To assess the indicators of quality of life, a special questionnaire was developed, including 30 questions. The study of indicators of quality of life of patients with stage III and IV glaucoma indicates that this contingent of persons quite rarely feels full of strength and optimism. The majority of respondents (78.0%) feel psychological discomfort, however, it should be noted that the medical rehabilitation carried out achieved an improvement in the quality of life in more than 70% of cases due to the lack of need to instill 4-5 times a day of various antihypertensive drops.
