Animated Video Education for Retinal Surgery
Sponsor: University of Toronto
Summary
Retinal detachment is a vision-threatening condition that requires urgent surgical repair. Understanding the condition, the surgery, and post-operative instructions is difficult for many patients, particularly in multilingual and multicultural populations. This study will evaluate whether short, animated educational videos, available in 25 languages and designed with accessibility features for patients with low vision, improve patient knowledge, reduce anxiety, and support adherence to post-operative instructions when added to standard counselling. Patients will be randomized to standard counselling alone versus counselling plus video in their preferred language. Outcomes will be measured with validated questionnaires at baseline, immediately after counselling, and one week post-surgery.
