Utility, safety, and accessibility of phone call follow-up in strabismus surgery postoperative care
In our study cohort, POW1 phone call follow-ups after strabismus surgery maintained patient engagement and had equivalent rates of complication detection to in-person follow-up. Implementing phone calls for early follow-up has the potential to improve healthcare accessibility for patients who travel long distances.
