Summary
This study looked at whether a structured counseling session over the phone before cataract surgery could lower patients' anxiety and improve their recovery. 128 adults scheduled for cataract surgery took part. Half received the extra phone counseling, while the other half got standard care. Researchers measured anxiety levels and other outcomes after surgery.
