Feedback On The New Application Eyeguide® From Zeiss To Facilitate The Treatment Process Of Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery.

To report our feedback on the new application EYEGUIDE® from ZEISS after 6 months of use.

Centre Ophtalmologique IRIDIS, Albi, France

The new patient mobile app EYEGUIDE® from ZEISS offers relevant information and features to support the treatment process of patients undergoing cataract surgery. We have offered the installation of this application to all our patients since February 6th. We analyze the acquisition rate, the frequency of use, as well as patient feedback regarding their satisfaction and comments.

In 1 month of use only 16% of patients decided to download the application. Of the 12 patients included, there are 8 women and 4 men with an average age of 67 +/- 10.45 years. The application is in the trial phase and the results will be presented at congress. 

The new patient mobile app EYEGUIDE® is particularly promising to improve and simplify treatment compliance with reminders to take drops. Patients feel more reassured by having content such as checklists directly on their smartphone. However, there is a real digital divide in some patients that could be an obstacle to the use of this type of new application.
