Questionnaires have been used as research tools to provide a standardized approach to assess quality of life at various time periods and populations. However, literature shows only a few articles about self-reported color vision changes. Our aim was to evaluate the subjective patient feelings before and after cataract surgery and compare the results with a color vision test result. Our method was as follows: 80 cataract patients filled out a modified color vision questionnaire and performed the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test (FM100) before, two weeks, and six months after cataract surgery. We analyzed the correlations between these two types of results, which reveal that FM100 hue performance and subjective perception improved after surgery. Additionally, subjective patient questionnaire scores correlate well with the FM100 test results before and two weeks after the cataract surgery, but this effect decreased with longer follow-up times. We conclude that subjective color vision changes can only be noticed at longer periods after the cataract surgery. Health care professionals can use this questionnaire to better understand the subjective feelings of patients and monitor their color vision sensitivity changes.
