PURPOSE:    To longitudinally report the changes in visual acuity (VA) and subjective visual function, 10   years after @entity231 surgery. METHODS: This population-based prospective study reviewed 335 @entity1 (85% of survivors) who underwent @entity231 surgery during a 1-year period in 1997-98, 289 of whom were also re-examined. The @entity1 underwent a routine eye examination and answered the same visual function questionnaire (VF-14), preoperatively, 4   months postoperatively, 5   years and 10   years after surgery. RESULTS: Ten years after surgery, the best corrected VA (BCVA) of the operated eye had deteriorated to a median of 0.06 (logMAR) (Snellen acuity: 20/23) from 0.046 (logMAR) (20/22) postoperatively (p   =   0.001). More than two-thirds of the @entity1 had <0.1 logMAR units worsening of BCVA compared with postoperatively. Approximately half of the @entity1 had no deterioration in subjective visual function, and 77% had 10 points decline or less. Twelve per cent of the @entity1 (42/335) had a worsening of more than 30 points. Effect size was calculated for the VF-14 total score at all three occasions of follow-up after surgery and was largest approximately 4   months postoperatively. Long-time follow-up of 10   years shows still moderate effect size. CONCLUSION:    These results confirm the effectiveness of @entity231 extraction, offering good long-term visual rehabilitation for the majority of the @entity1 . The most common cause for large functional loss after 10   years is age-related @entity1020 .
