Physician–Patient Communication

Abstract

The use of OQAS II facilitates good doctor–patient communication in the clinic. In addition to the abovementioned applications (timing of cataract surgery and prediction of postoperative visual quality), a visualized simulation of retinal imaging (Fig. 9.1) can be provided during the examination to help the patient and his or her family to visualize the impact of the disease (e.g., lens opacity) on visual quality.
