Fifty-four elderly patients with cataracts were tested with a questionnaire and a series of visual-motor learning and performance tasks immediately before, 7 weeks after, and 16 weeks after cataract surgery. The goal was to learn whether postoperative performance and questionnaire responses could be predicted from the preoperative tasks. Twenty-two elderly people without diagnosed cataracts did the same tasks at comparable intervals to establish normal performance levels and reliabilities. The amount of activity before surgery (walking, shopping, gardening, sewing, etc.) and the ability to learn a new visual-motor coordination were positively correlated with successful recovery as assessed by several measures including spontaneously expressed satisfaction.
54名患有白内障的老年患者在白内障手术前、术后7周和术后16周接受了问卷调查以及一系列视觉运动学习和表现任务测试。目的是了解术前任务是否能够预测术后的表现和问卷调查的回答。22名未被诊断出患有白内障的老年人在类似的时间间隔内完成了相同的任务，以确定正常的表现水平和可靠性。手术前的活动量（步行、购物、园艺、缝纫等）以及学习新的视觉运动协调能力与通过包括自发表达的满意度在内的多种指标评估的成功恢复呈正相关。
