This study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative visual aids on anxiety and pain management in patients with low educational backgrounds undergoing glaucoma filtration surgery.
A randomized, single-blinded, single-centre clinical trial was conducted at a tertiary eye hospital in Shantou, China. Patients scheduled for glaucoma filtration surgery were randomly assigned to either a conventional oral education group or a visual aids group. Anxiety levels, pain scores, blood pressure, and pulse rates were measured at multiple time points.
