Cost-of-Illness Study of Senile Cataract in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Objectives In the Czech Republic, 7% of patients with senile cataract are indicated for surgery each year, which means ten thousand of interventions annually. The aim of this study is to quantify direct costs in relation to the implanted intraocular lenstype from both the public health insurance perspective and the patient?s perspective. The senile cataract surgery with monofocal IOL is covered by public health insurance. Methods Direct costs were calculated through a panel of experts that provided expert opinions, taking into account consumption of paid medical services provided to patients. The panel consisted of 6 experts (4 physicians from eye clinics, 2 physicians from outpatient departments). Patient´s costs were obtained through a patient questionnaire asking the direct (out-of-pocket) expenses associated with the cataract. The study covered a cohort of 200 patients with senile cataract in non-productive age (65+). Data were collected from 4 clinics performing cataract surgery.
