Summary

This study tests whether extra support from a nurse via phone calls and text messages helps patients stick to their eye drop schedule and feel more satisfied after cataract surgery. About 128 adults having cataract surgery for the first time will be split into two groups: one gets the tele-nursing program, the other gets usual care. Researchers will measure medication adherence and satisfaction using standard questionnaires.

Active substance: tele-nursing education and counseling
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that remote nurse support helps patients take their eye drops correctly and feel more satisfied after cataract surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 128 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the benefit over standard care may be small.
