This was the 2nd in a series intended to develop a method for predicting the degree of recovery and satisfaction of elderly patients following cataract surgery. Patients (66, mean age, 68 yr; 27 men and 39 women) completed an activity questionnaire and a series of walking, reaching and hand-eye coordination tasks 1 day prior to cataract surgery. An average of 6 mo. later, the patients completed the activity questionnaire and some of the motor tasks again and then made a 4-point assessment of satisfaction with their recovery. Postoperative reaching, walking, activity and satisfaction were all positively correlated with scores on some of the preoperative tasks. Patients report less postoperative activity after an eyeglass correction than after a lens-implant or contact-lens correction.
