No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether periodic education can improve recovery outcomes in older adults undergoing cataract surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does periodic education improve patients' adherence to prescribed eye medications after cataract surgery?

Does periodic education reduce postoperative complications and improve vision-related quality of life?

Researchers will compare patients who receive structured periodic education in addition to routine postoperative care with those who receive routine postoperative care alone to see if education improves recovery outcomes.

Participants will:

Receive either routine postoperative care or structured periodic education about correct eye drop use and self-care practices

Attend follow-up visits during the first three weeks after surgery

Complete questionnaires to assess medication adherence and vision-related quality of life

Conditions

  • Cataract

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Routine Postoperative Care

Participants in this group receive standard postoperative care routinely provided in the ophthalmology clinic, including discharge instructions and scheduled follow-up visits, without additional structured education.

BEHAVIORAL
