Abstract

Glaucoma is a chronic, incurable disease managed by controlling intraocular pressure (IOP). Meanwhile, vision loss in glaucoma and treatments affect the quality of life (QoL). Many studies on QoL in patients with glaucoma are now available. Standardized questionnaires and established non-linear relationships between QoL in glaucoma and clinically assessed quantitative parameters (e.g., visual acuity, visual fields, etc.) are significant achievements. Although treatments (pharmacotherapy or surgical interventions) generally reduce IOP, their adverse reactions affect QoL and treatment adherence. Surgical interventions provide the most potent IOP-lowering effect. However, surgery most affects QoL due to local symptoms and psychological factors (particularly at the early stages of glaucoma). Given the emergence of minimally invasive procedures, the importance of studying de facto QoL after glaucoma surgery is resurrected. Keywords: quality of life, glaucoma, trabeculectomy, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, neuroprotective therapy. For citation: Erichev V.P., Volzhanin A.V. Impact of glaucoma and glaucoma surgery on quality of life. Russian Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology. 2022;22(1):44–50 (in Russ.). DOI: 10.32364/2311-7729-2022-22-1-44-50.

青光眼及青光眼手术对生活质量的影响

青光眼是一种慢性，无法治愈的疾病，通过控制眼压(IOP)来控制。同时，青光眼的视力丧失和治疗影响生活质量(QoL)。目前对青光眼患者生活质量的研究较多。标准化的问卷调查和建立青光眼生活质量与临床评估的定量参数(如视力、视野等)之间的非线性关系是重要的成果。虽然治疗(药物治疗或手术干预)通常会降低IOP，但其不良反应会影响生活质量和治疗依从性。手术干预提供了最有效的降低眼压的效果。然而，由于局部症状和心理因素(特别是在青光眼的早期阶段)，手术对生活质量的影响最大。鉴于微创手术的出现，研究青光眼手术后实际生活质量的重要性再次得到重视。关键词:生活质量，青光眼，小梁切除术，微创青光眼手术，神经保护治疗引文:Erichev v.p.， Volzhanin A.V.青光眼和青光眼手术对生活质量的影响。俄罗斯临床眼科杂志，2022;22(1):44-50(俄文)。DOI: 10.32364 / 2311-7729-2022-22-1-44-50。
