Exploring patient preferences for intraocular lenses selection in age-related cataract: a discrete choice experiment study
This study highlights significant heterogeneity in cataract patient preferences for IOLs attributes. Cost was the most critical factor, followed by presbyopia and aberration correction. Men favored toric IOLs and exhibited sensitivity to cost, while highly educated individuals preferred multifocal IOLs less. These findings underscore the need for personalized IOLs recommendations and signal opportunities for innovation and customization in the IOLs industry.
