“…Furthermore, the postoperative mean VA gradually decreases with age (Figure 1). Moreover, most of the patients (108) had a good VA, 34 had an excellent VA, while the lowest numbers (18) were in the borderline group. Regarding the patient's satisfaction score, the majority (41.9%) had a good score, followed by very good (38.1), fair (16.3%), and then unfair (3.8%).…”

Background Cataract is a natural lens opacification and the leading cause of reversible blindness. Globally, it causes 50-90% of all blindness in developing countries. However, there are no available methods to prevent or treat cataracts rather than surgery; thus, greater attention is needed to guarantee the adequate performance of the surgery. Objectives To detect the cataract surgery visual outcome and the patient’s satisfaction in Sulaimaniyah city, regardless of induced changes in corneal curvatures, size of the pupil, depth of the anterior chamber, and intraocular lens properties. Patients and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 patients who attended Shaheed Dr. Aso hospital after cataract surgery. We interviewed the patients and obtained their clinical information at least three months postoperatively. Patient satisfaction was measured as unfair, fair, reasonable, and sound. In addition, with clinical data from our questionnaire, we assessed factors associated with poor outcomes. Then, visual acuity (VA) was measured and announced as borderline, exemplary, or excellent. Results The mean age of participants who underwent cataract surgery was 63.74±11.2 years, of which 63.7% were female. We found that the postoperative mean VA gradually decreased with age. We also compared the obtained data with vision satisfaction. Consequently, we found that patient satisfaction was significantly correlated with the visual outcome. Conclusion The visual outcome was excellent in younger patients, those done in private sectors, and patients with no ocular comorbidities. Patient satisfaction was strongly related to their graphic work.

“…Patients can only see objects at a fixed distance with this type of device, and have to wear reading glasses in order to see objects at various distances. Further, another drawback of spherical IOLs is poor night vision that may cause inconvenience for those who are active at night [11,12]. Special functional IOLs can enhance visual acuity, reduce blurring at night or under insufficient lighting, correct astigmatism, increase visible distance, and address the drawback of the loss in adjustment while providing the benefits of blue-light filtration, lighting softening and vision enhancement.…”

BackgroundThe implementation of capitated payment has driven medical institutions through developing balance billing for medical services. By exploring the patients’ decision-making factors on different self-pay items, a reference for the pricing and sales strategy for the related products can be formed. The major purposes of this study were to analyze the determinants of preoperative selection and postoperative satisfaction with implantation of different types of intraocular lenses in cataract surgery.MethodsThis cross-sectional study consisted of 127 patients that were 50 years of age and older, and who had phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire. The following parameters were measured: access to medical care, attitude towards receiving medical products at one’s own expense, overall patient satisfaction and postoperative visual clarity.ResultsThe results showed that the patient’s gender, educational level and economic status influenced the type of intraocular lens chosen. Patients in the insurance group cared about access to medical care, and patients in the balance billing group cared about product differentiation. ANOVA results showed no statistically significant differences in the overall satisfaction of the patients among the groups with different types of intraocular lenses. Patients that received cataract surgery with implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses had better vision when trying to view smaller objects and when looking at objects under strong light.ConclusionsManufacturers should increase the number of differences between their products, and health care providers can then recommend the appropriate intraocular lens in accordance with the needs or demands of their patients, and also by keeping in mind the financial constraints of their patients.
