Subjects aged ≥ 65 years more often than younger respondents presented negative opinions about hospital admission procedures (15% vs. 2.5%, p=0.032) and were less satisfied with physicians’ explanations about the matter of phacoemulsification (71.3% vs. 92.5%, p=0.004), type of artificial lens to be implanted (43.8% vs. 85%, p< 0.001), and potential complications (69.4% vs. 95%, p< 0.001). The most unpleasant intraoperative experiences included venipuncture (35.5%), artificial lens implantation (30.5%), and peeling off of a sterile surgical drape (24%).Conclusion: Persons aged ≥ 65 years presented with negative opinions about routine procedures related to phacoemulsification. Older age seems to be associated with less tolerance to time-consuming bureaucratic procedures and a lesser understanding of the specific stages of the surgery. Older patients should be notified in advance about all routine procedures to be carried out and provided with a rationale for these activities.Trial Registration: The study was registered on clinicaltrials. gov (NCT04327856).Keywords: phacoemulsification of cataract, patients subjective experiences, quality of lifeObuchowska IŁugowska DMariak ZKonopińska JDove Medical Pressarticlephacoemulsification of cataractpatients subjective experiencesquality of lifeOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 713-721 (2021)
