[Healthcare Research of Cataract Surgery - Analysis of Patient's Satisfaction Following Cataract Surgery in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern/Germany].

Conclusion With a not preselected patient cohort, we reached internationally comparable visual, refractive and satisfaction results. The overall satisfaction with cataract surgery is high. The majority of our patients (84.2%) were PROM+ combined with COM+ (VA increase ≥ 0.1). Dissatisfaction could be explained by the presence of comorbidities, perioperative complications and with a poor surgical outcome (no increase of VA ≥ 0.1). Nevertheless 1.7% of our patients remained unsatisfied without an objective reason (COM+, PROM-), which underlines the importance of general life satisfaction.
