Summary
This study tests whether short animated videos, available in 25 languages, can help people with retinal detachment understand their condition and surgery better. 600 adults will either get standard counselling or counselling plus a video in their preferred language. Researchers will measure knowledge, anxiety, and how well patients follow post-op instructions.
