Patient Education is probably one of the most important things your practice can do to ensure you meet all your patients expectations. So how do I educate my patients on selecting the right IOL? When considering #cataract surgery, it's crucial for patients to understand their options. I emphasize determining #vision goals—whether prioritizing distance vision with reading glasses or opting for a full range with potential side effects like glare. Understanding these trade-offs helps patients choose the perfect #IOL to suit their lifestyle and vision needs. #patienteducation Clear Choice Custom LASIK Center Cleveland Eye Clinic Midwest Vision Partners #eyecare
Great video Dr. Wiley - the more chances a patient has to ask questions about how their choice might impact their personal lifestyle / vision goals, the better prepared they feel in making that decision. It can also reduce potential dissatisfaction down the line as they are more aware of the trade-offs you discussed!
Discussing what we refer to as ‘the cataract surgery journey’ and the differences in IOL options is critical to meeting patient expectations. Working with William Wiley and Shamik Bafna and their team in the co-management of our cataract patients has been a pleasure. Cataract surgical techniques and cataract surgeons are not all alike!😎
