Quality of surgery, surgeon reputation influence decision to undergo refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery
WARSAW, Poland — Quality of medical performance, reputation of the surgeon and fear of surgery seem to be the main factors in patients’ decision to undergo refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery, or RELACS, according to a study carried out at a large private clinic in Germany.“Price plays a secondary role. These patients agree to co-payment, and the extra charge seems to be of little concern to them,” Tim Herbst, project manager, said at the winter meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
