Ambulatory cataract surgery: the patients' perceptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
There has been a slower uptake of ambulatory cataract surgery in the UK than the USA. We believe the primary aim of ambulatory cataract surgery is improved patient care. This prospective study assessed the perceptions and individual characteristics of patients undergoing ambulatory cataract surgery. This study demonstrates that 97.7% of patients undergoing ambulatory cataract surgery recommend this procedure as the treatment of choice. We conclude that ambulatory cataract surgery has many benefits, has a high level of patient satisfaction, and is suitable for the majority of patients.
