Abstract
There are numerous keys to successful modern cataract surgery, but to produce truly happy postoperative patients, the results of the surgery must also meet the patient’s expectations. In order to properly set expectations, patients must be educated about cataracts themselves, lens implant options, the experience of having cataract surgery and what to expect afterwards. This article reviews the various patient education tools in use today.
