Detailed description

The need for cataract surgery is on the rise globally due to the aging population and high demands for greater visual functioning. Patients with age-related cataract face their initial decision about when to undergo cataract surgery. Although the majority of patients want to participate in a shared decision-making process, no decision aid has been available to improve the quality of decision.
