3 Success in Premium Surgery Epectations DLS Considerations about Satisfaction Pager, C. K. (2004) The improvement in visual function eperienced by a patient did not at all significantly correlate with overall satisfaction, a finding that runs counter to common epectations. Patients had very high epectations for postoperative function 96.1% with 60% of patients selecting 100% VF-14 Questionnaire Adatia, F. (2015) Patients tend to feel that the second cataract surgery is a more negative eperience. We recommend preoperative counseling for all patients before their second cataract etraction. 3

4 Considerations about Satisfaction Hawker et al. (2005) (Monofocal IOLs) Patients who already wear spectacles epect to need them after cataract surgery. Those not already wearing spectacles do not epect to need them. Free of glasses is very important in general for patients. Labiris et al. (2014) (Mini-monovision versus multifocal intraocular lens implantation) Multifocal IOL insertion was associated with less dependence on glasses overall but significantly more dysphotopsia. Nijkamp (2010) (Monofocal IOLs) Predictors of satisfaction: Preoperative epectations of medical outcome were met (r = 0.407) Satisfaction with quality of care (r = 0.669) Evaluation of patient counseling (r = 0.674). Patient education and counseling were more strongly correlated with overall satisfaction than medical outcome (r = versus r = 0.543). Positive Candidates Braga-Mele, R., Chang, D., Dewey, S., Foster, G., Henderson, B. A., Hill, W., Yoo, S. (2014).

14 Objective Classification. Based on Scattering OSI improvements required We cannot compare the OSI before surgery and after surgery even though some papers currently do: Infrared systems (780nm) differ from IOL wavelenght desings (550nm). Diffractive rings inside 2 mm affect to the first pass. Imprecission in the PSF. New instruments are in development. Faster, wavelenght near to 550 nm, and with higher field.
