Patient satisfaction is an important clinical outcome. Anxiety surrounding surgical procedures often interferes even with good physiological outcomes. Pager studied 141 patients undergoing day-stay cataract surgery. In this study a simple inexpensive video tape showing patients what to expect from their cataract surgery resulted in a significant increase in patient understanding of the procedure and satisfaction with it. There was also a decrease in anxiety associated with the procedure.

Visual restitution training is personal computer software designed for patients with visual field defects caused by optic nerve disease and post-chiasmal brain lesions. This therapy performs binocular visual stimulation on a computer monitor within a transition zone between the intact visual field area and absolute field defect. Previous studies have suggested that this may be effective in expanding the visual field in patients. However, Reinhard and coworkers studied 17 patients with stable homonymous visual field defects before and
