Background: In an ageing population, efficiency improvements are required to assure future accessibility of cataract care. We aim to address remaining knowledge gaps by evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) versus delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS). We hypothesised that ISBCS is non-inferior to DSBCS, regarding safety and effectiveness, and being superior in cost-effectiveness.

- Ophthalmologists often focus on clinical outcomes, but patients are more concerned about their ability to perform daily activities post-cataract surgery, highlighting the need for better communication about surgery results.
- A multicenter study collected data from 870 patients in five Dutch hospitals to evaluate how factors like one or two-eye surgery, ocular comorbidity, and complications influence patients' visual function using the Catquest-9SF assessment tool.
- Results showed that patients who had surgery on both eyes and experienced fewer complications reported better quality of vision, while those with ocular comorbidities tended to have worse outcomes, underscoring the importance of using patient-centered tools to enhance clinical practices.
