Abstract
Purpose of Review
Dealing with an unhappy patient is always an uncomfortable challenge and likely one of the most difficult aspects of our job as a surgeon because it stands in contrast to what our primary intentions are as physicians.
Recent Findings
The most common reasons for patient dissatisfaction include residual refractive error and incompletely treated ocular surface disease. Other common patient concerns include issues with quality or range of vision and shortcomings related to perceived expectations. Recent data show that personality profiling may assist us in determining candidacy for specific lens technology.
Summary
Here, we will review the most common reasons and remedies for patient dissatisfaction after cataract surgery.
