Purpose: to found the relationship between the obtained postoperative visual acuity, the increase in visual acuity in the lines and the subjective satisfaction of patients with the results of the operation.Material and methods. The study included 165 patients (186 eyes) who received cataract phacoemulsification surgery with IOL implantation (n = 170) or refractive lensectomy with IOL implantation (n = 16). The average age of the subjects was 70.23 ± 10.14 years. The group included patients without concomitant systemic or ophthalmic pathology, without previous surgical interventions in the eye for any purpose. At least 1 month after the operation, patients filled out a questionnaire in order to find out the subjective satisfaction with the treatment (scale from 0 to 4 points). The results of the questionnaire were compared with postoperative BCVA, and increased vision (postoperative BCVA — preoperative BCVA). Preoperative BCVA — Me 0.4 (Q1–Q3: 0.1–0.68), postoperative BCVA — Me 1.0 (Q1–Q3: 0.95–1.0), increased vision — Me 0.6 (Q1–Q3: 0.3–0.9) according to Snellen’s table.Results. Visual acuity in satisfaction subgroups: 0 points — Me 1.0 (Q1–Q3: 0.9–1.0) / n = 5 (2.7 %); 1 point — 1 case, postoperative BCVA 1.16 (0.5 %); 2 points — Me 0.95 (Q1–Q3: 0.84–1.0) / n = 14 (7.5 %); 3 points — Me 1.0 (Q1–Q3: 0.9–1.16) / n = 57 (30.6 %); 4 points — Me 1.0 (Q1–Q3: 0.96–1.0) / n = 109 (58.6 %). Postoperative BCVA and increased in visual acuity do not have statistically significant differences depending on satisfaction with treatment (p > 0.05). The correlation between postoperative BCVA and satisfaction is not statistically significant (p = 0.65; rxy = 0.136), as well as between vision improvement and satisfaction (p = 0.55; rxy = 0.141).Conclusion. There was a lack of a statistically significant relationship between postoperative BCVA and improved vision with subjective patient satisfaction with treatment. Identification of factors affecting subjective assessment requires a deeper analysis. Practicing ophthalmologists should remember the importance of the dialogue between the doctor and the patient at the preoperative stage, informing the patient about the expected results of the operation and the possible course after the operation period.

Introduction: Recently, there has been an increase in adults undergoing orthodontic treatment in both the public and the private sector. Satisfaction during and after the orthodontic treatment process has not been widely discussed so far, however, and few research studies have emphasized patient satisfaction with treatment outcome and the factors affecting patient satisfaction. Aim: To investigate factors affecting patient satisfaction with the process of orthodontic treatment in young adults. Material and methods: Fifty-eight patients (33 girls and 25 boys with a mean age of 25.05 years, SD 2.83) were included in the survey. All patients were young adults who had completed their orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and were taken from two centers (a teaching hospital and a private practice). Data was collected using online survey forms and was analyzed using content thematic analysis. Five main factors were identified related to patient satisfaction with the process of orthodontic treatment: communication, faculty (orthodontist), physical surroundings, consultation/appointments, and impact of appliance treatment. Results: Effective communication was the most prominent factor among all five factors considered, especially detailed explanation given during treatment and making patients feel comfortable under their care. Median values were generally high for satisfaction with treatment results. There was a clear correlation ( p < 0.001) between patient satisfaction and treatment outcome. Age, sex and treatment time did not have any correlation with treatment satisfaction. Conclusion: In general, young adults were observed to be satisfied with the treatment process, and good communication played a dominant role in this. Though there were many differences in working models between public and private sectors, many similarities were observed when comparing the factors between the two centers.

Purpose.To evaluate visual, refractive, and contrast sensitivity outcomes, as well as the incidence of pseudophakic photic phenomena and patient satisfaction after bilateral diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Methods. This prospective nonrandomized study included consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a diffractive trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP, Carl Zeiss Meditec). Distance, intermediate, and near visual outcomes were evaluated as well as the defocus curve and the refractive outcomes 3 months after surgery. Photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity, patient satisfaction, and halo perception were also evaluated.Results.Seventy-six eyes of 38 patients were included; 90% of eyes showed a spherical equivalent within ±0.50 diopters 3 months after surgery. All patients had a binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity of 0.00 LogMAR or better and a binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of 0.10 LogMAR or better, 3 months after surgery. Furthermore, 85% of patients achieved a binocular uncorrected near visual acuity of 0.10 LogMAR or better.Conclusions.Trifocal diffractive IOL implantation seems to provide an effective restoration of visual function for far, intermediate, and near distances, providing high levels of visual quality and patient satisfaction.

Abstract Background: Multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is generally not considered in patients with keratoconus; however, it may provide good optical results in selected patients with stage I and II keratoconus based on two case reports. Aims: To evaluate patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes in this patient population.Methods: This is a retrospective single-center, non-interventional, non-comparison study. All patients with frank keratoconus who had undergone a trifocal IOL implantation between 2016 and 2019 were invited to participate in this study (18 eyes of 9 patients). Postoperatively, refractive outcomes, contrast sensitivity, and ocular aberrations were recorded. A questionnaire was used for determining patient satisfaction and their quality of life. The mean follow-up time was 31.22 ± 6.38 months.Results: Postoperatively the patients’ uncorrected distance visual acuity improved from 1.13 ± 0.93 to 0.10 ± 0.17 (p˂0.001), corrected distance visual acuity went from 0.10 ± 0.11 to 0.05 ± 0.09 (p=0.19), mean refractive spherical equivalent changed from -4.34 ± 4.31 to 0.05 ± 0.51 D (p˂0.001), and manifest astigmatism from 2.44 ± 1.92 to 0.88 ± 1.81 D (p=0.017). A target refraction of less than ± 0.50 D was achieved in 17 eyes (94%) and one eye exhibited a hyperopic MRSE of +2.0 D. Three eyes (17%) lost 1 line of best corrected visual acuity and no patient lost two or more lines. The patients were independent of glasses in 78% for all distances. Conclusions: A trifocal IOL currently gives relatively good, predictable results with most patients feeling satisfied with the results of spectacle independence for all distances.

Abstract Introduction Absolute dysphagia secondary to impacted soft food bolus in oesophagus can occur due to various reasons. Existing pathway was ENT if patient points above the suprasternal notch and GI if below or at the level of notch. Objectives To assess management in patients with soft food bolus dysphagia and reviewing old pathway. Method Data was collected via clinical governance, case notes on track and analysed overall pathway of patients and discussed with the consultants; Paid attention to patients requiring surgical interventions, compared the complications 0f OGD and rigidscopy. Also, effectiveness of Buscopan weighing its adverse effects. Results Total of 147 cases were included, 2 patients from upper GI being secondarily referred to ENT, 18 of ENT with GI, 3.8 of 19% complications has risk of perforations with Rigid scope. 2.6% had risk with OGD with no perforations. 2% needed OGD after rigid. 85% underwent intervention after Buscopan. Conclusions There is no compelling evidence for Buscopan - to be used only for patient satisfaction. Combining Multiple transfers & complex patient journeys causing delay for treatments with less complications of OGD, soft food bolus should be managed by local gastro/gen surgery teams who can provide timely appropriate intervention, ENT involvement only if airway or pharyngeal concern.

The aim of the study was to identify the reasons for the personal use of vision correction tools by ophthalmologists and the importance of vision for the specialty. Materials and methods. An anonymous online survey was conducted, which was attended by 122 respondents, including 111 ophthalmologists. Results. The visual acuity of two eyes without correction among the respondents was 1.0 and higher in 51 people. The maximum corrected visual acuity with two eyes was: 1.0 and higher in 79 respondents; less than 1.0 to 0.7 inclusive in 12 (those who refrained from answering the question had uncorrected visual acuity of 1.0 and higher). More than half of the respondents (56) suffer from myopia. Among the respondents, 53 use point correction. Of the spectacle lenses, ophthalmologists prefer plastic ones more. 36 respondents use contact correction. Surgical interventions on the organ of vision were performed in 12 patients. All respondents noted that they do not have cataracts, glaucoma, diseases of the optic nerve and color perception disorders. The choice of specialty did not depend on the existing diseases of the visual organ in 101 doctors, 9 people noted the connection between the previous pathologies of the visual organ with the subsequent choice of profession. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it is possible to note the high maximum corrected visual acuity of ophthalmologists. Despite this, some respondents experience inconveniences at work related to visual impairments. For themselves, ophthalmologists often choose eyeglass correction instead of contact. And of the spectacle lenses, they prefer plastic ones more. The reasons for the use of glasses or contact correction among doctors of this specialty are increased requirements for the quality of vision. Key words: ophthalmologist, myopia, vision, glasses.
