Summary
Patients reported high satisfaction with immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS), with 96% recommending the procedure. The study supports wider ISBCS implementation, suggesting improved preoperative information enhances patient acceptance.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Patient Experience Research
- Surgical Outcomes
Background:
- Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
- Immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) involves operating on both eyes consecutively.
- Patient perspectives on ISBCS are crucial for understanding its effectiveness and acceptance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate patient satisfaction and attitudes towards immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS).
- To gather first-hand experiences of patients undergoing ISBCS.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective study involving 25 patients.
- Semi-structured telephone interviews conducted postoperatively.
- Qualitative content analysis of patient responses.
Main Results:
- All patients were 'very satisfied' with ISBCS and would undergo the procedure again.
- 96% of patients felt safe post-surgery and would recommend ISBCS.
- No complications were reported, with minimal impact on daily activities.
Conclusions:
- Patient experiences support the wider implementation of ISBCS.
- Enhanced preoperative information can improve patient acceptance and uptake of ISBCS.
