Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Patient Compliance
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Intravitreal treatment (IVT) is a common ophthalmological procedure.
  • High rates of treatment cessation negatively affect therapeutic effectiveness.
  • Understanding patient knowledge and expectations is crucial for improving compliance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze patient knowledge and treatment expectations related to intravitreal treatments.
  • To identify discrepancies that may negatively affect compliance and treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory survey design.
  • 100 patients from a tertiary care outpatient clinic participated.
  • A structured, anonymised questionnaire with closed-ended questions was utilized.

Main Results:

  • The median patient age was 73 years; 52% had age-related macula degeneration.
  • 64% expected visual acuity improvement, but 42% couldn't name IVT medication.
  • 55% found informed consent adequate; 69% were unaware of endophthalmitis risk.

Conclusions:

  • Deficiencies exist in patient knowledge of disease, treatment goals, and complication rates.
  • Standardized patient information sheets are suggested to enhance the informed consent process.
  • Improving patient understanding is key to enhancing compliance and treatment success in ophthalmology.
