Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators will investigate whether video-assisted informed consent is superior to routine discussion for cataract patients about risks, benefits and alternatives to receiving phacoemulsification cataract extract and intraocular lens implantation, and will determine whether video-assisted informed consent can reduce the work load of physicians.
Detailed Description
Patients with age-related cataract who scheduled for elective phacoemulsification cataract extract and intraocular lens implantation surgery and their physicians who on charge of these patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to the video assistance group watched a video in Cantonese or Mandarin explaining the surgery procedure and its risks, benefits and alternatives before discussion with their physicians.
