Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine what the main concerns of patients would be in the moments that precede cataract surgery by programmed phacoemulsification with topical anaesthesia. To this end, they will be submitted to a short interview, with a medical background unknown to the patient, who will apply a questionnaire with questions relevant to the procedure.
