| Study objectives | The aim of the study was to test the key hypothesis that: Co-management of care in a peripheral ophthalmic clinic will improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of, and patient satisfaction with, day-care management of cataract surgery. Three objectives were identified: 1.To assess the value of introducing a trained ophthalmic nurse into the care of patients with cataract attending the peripheral clinic 2. To ascertain the best site for pre-operative assessment (peripheral or main hospital) 3. To evaluate the post-operative management of patients including possible role changes in the multi-disciplinary team |
