Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to show the changes in geriatric depression scale (GDS) scores in patients undergoing senile cataract surgery.
 Methods: A total of 74 patients aged 60 years and older who underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification for senile cataract were included. All patients were evaluated with the GDS before cataract surgery and at the third month after surgery.
 Results: The mean GDS in the preoperative period was 10.22 ± 5.01, while the mean GDS score in the postoperative period was 8.2 ± 4.92. There was a positive correlation (r=0.680 for preoperative and r=0.801 for postoperative) between visual acuity and GDS score in the preoperative period (p
