Abstract:
The quality of postoperative care received by patients undergoing resident-performed cataract surgery is not well described. In a retrospective chart review, this study investigated the prevalence and preoperative predictors of noncompliance with postoperative cataract surgery care in an urban teaching hospital. It found that one in four patients was noncompliant with cataract surgery postoperative care and that age 50 years or less was a key predictor of non-compliance.
