Validation of the German version of a 9-item questionnaire to evaluate patients‘ satisfaction undergoing cataract surgery

Catquest-9SF is a short form of the longer Swedish CatQuest, a questionnaire to measure the patients’ quality of life and their satisfaction level for cataract surgery. Aim of this study is to validate the German version of the Catquest-9SF. The questionnaire includes three parts, the first part asks if there are any difficulties for the patient in every day live because of vision, in the second part the patient has to answer how satisfied or dissatisfied he is with his vision and the third part asks about difficulties when performing activities, such as reading, doing handwork, or recognising people’s faces. With this questionnaire it will be possible to respond better to the patients’ needs.
