Brief summary
A single-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial to investigate whether the use of a virtual three-dimensional interactive eye model (One Right Eye model) during a standard outpatient public ophthalmology clinic affects overall patient satisfaction with their appointment, understanding of their ophthalmic condition, and rating of their doctor’s explanation.
Interventions
Intervention = a standard ophthalmic consultation assisted by an interactive virtual three-dimensional eye model (One Right Eye) on the doctor’s computer.
