This is a cross-sectional descriptive research method, from August 2019 to July 2020, of 187 patients treated at Hanoi Medical University. The results showed that the mean age of cataract patients was 66.84 ± 8.067. There were 55 male patients (29.41%) and 132 female patients (70.59%). Mean VF-14 score in cataract patients was 72.23 ± 21.59. The rate of cataract patients with impaired visual activity is 89.84% in the following levels: Minimum (8.56%), mild (28.88%), moderate (44.39%), severe (3.21%) and very severe (4.81%). Age, degree of cataract and education level have an influence on visual impairment in cataract patients (p < 0.05). Gender, income, living situation, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease had no significant effect on visual impairment in cataract patients (p > 0.05). The investigation of visual impairment in cataract patients using the VF-14 toolkit and analysis of some factors affecting visual activity in cataract patients gives reliable results, and is effective and essential.
