Most patients undergoing cataract surgery prefer a first-day review. Patient preference for post-operative review after phacoemulsification should guide care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Post-operative review protocols after phacoemulsification vary.
  • Understanding patient preferences is crucial for optimizing care quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient opinions on first-day reviews after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective questionnaire survey of patients listed for day-case phacoemulsification.
  • Data included demographics, anesthetic technique, surgery type (first/second eye), and postcode.
  • Statistical analysis using t-tests, chi-squared tests, and rank correlation.

Main Results:

  • 87% of 100 patients preferred a first-day review.
  • Preference was not significantly affected by sex, anesthetic, or surgery type.

  • Younger patients (<65 years) were less likely to prefer a review (p<0.02).

    • Conclusions:

    • Patients undergoing phacoemulsification generally prefer a first-day review.
    • Patient preferences may differ from surgeon opinions.
    • Incorporating patient preferences enhances the quality of ophthalmic care.
