Özet
Aim: To show the changes in geriatric depression scale (GDS) scores in patients undergoing senile cataract sur- gery. Methods: A total of 74 patients aged 60 years and older who presented to the Mersin City E&R hospital Ophthal- mology Clinic between January 01, 2023, and May 01, 2023, with low vision and underwent phacoemulsification surgery for senile cataract were included in this study. Patients with antidepressant use and/or ongoing follow-up and treatment for depression in a psychiatric clinic were excluded from this study. All patients were evaluated with the GDS before the surgery and the third month after surgery. Results: When the distribution according to GDS is analyzed, 38 patients scored 0-10 points, 18 patients scored 11-13 points, 18 patients scored 14 points and above in the preoperative period. In the postoperative period, 49 patients scored 0-10 points, 14 patients scored 11-13 points, 11 patients scored 14 points and above. The mean preoperative GDS score was 10.22 ± 5.01, while the mean postoperative GDS score was 8.2 ± 4.92. There was a positive correlation (r=0.680 preoperative and r=0.801 postoperative) between visual acuity and GDS score in the preoperative period (p<0.001 for both). Conclusions: Cataract surgery may potentially reduce the risk of depression or shorten the duration of depression in geriatric patients
