Eligible cataract patients who have been informed of surgical indications at an outpatient visit will be randomly assigned 1:1 to an intervention group (structured writing about personal conditions for accepting surgery) or a control group (no writing task). Both groups read the same standardized information about cataract diagnosis and treatment, and both complete the same set of follow-up questionnaire items. Three treating physicians independently rate their degree of surgical recommendation for each patient; these ratings along with baseline clinical measures are included as covariates in the analysis. The primary outcome is whether participants register for cataract surgery within 6 months of their initial outpatient consultation. Secondary outcomes include self-reported understanding of the condition, clarity of treatment plan, condition-related anxiety, perceived urgency, perceived helpfulness of the consultation, semantic analysis of written responses, and patient experience measures.",[52],"Cataract",[52,54,55,56,57,58,59],"Shared Decision-Making","Elective Surgery","Surgical Planning","Decision Aid","Patient Autonomy","Behavioral Intervention","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-15",{"date":63,"type":64},"2026-04-22","ACTUAL",{"date":66,"type":46},"2026-04-13",{"date":68,"type":46},"2027-04",{"name":5,"class":6}]
