Brief summary
This research is essential as it will to overcome the documented discrepancies in patient understanding and provide a video reference tool for patients to facilitate better engagement in decision making. The research is expected to benefit patients undergoing incisional glaucoma surgery and ophthalmologists, allowing them to improve their consultations and provide more effective and efficient patient-centred care.
Interventions
For the intervention group: A 12-minute-long informative video which uses a realistic animation style to accurately depict the eye undergoing incisional surgery whilst a voiceover explains the process will be presented. The video explores what glaucoma is, why surgery is being recommended, the type of surgery they will be receiving, what the surgery involves, an animation demonstrating the surgery, risks and complications of the surgery, effectiveness, and expected postoperative events.

The video explores what glaucoma is, why surgery is being recommended, the type of surgery they will be receiving, what the surgery involves, an animation demonstrating the surgery, risks and complications of the surgery, effectiveness, and expected postoperative events. The video will include audio descriptions but no subtitles have been added thus far. Participants will be able to view the video as many times as they desire. The video has been specifically designed for this study, and therefore is not a readily available resource yet. There are currently not any strategies to monitor adherence to the video. The intervention group will also receive the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) brochure.
