Patient satisfaction following oculofacial cosmetic procedures depends on preoperative expectations, which may be influenced by online material. Patients with poor health literacy are particularly vulnerable to misinformation and low-quality resources. However, few studies have evaluated the quality of online information on common oculofacial plastic surgeries and procedures. This study aimed to review the literature on the readability and quality of online material related to oculofacial plastic surgery. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database and included 10 studies in our review. Among the readability scores reported in these studies, the lowest was 10, representing a tenth-grade reading level. Furthermore, the online materials were often rated as "poor" quality based on multiple grading scales. Our systematic review of the literature demonstrates that online materials covering common oculofacial plastic surgery procedures are consistently of poor quality and exceed the recommended readability level. Therefore, considering these online materials that influence patient expectations could enable oculofacial plastic surgeons to better tailor their preoperative counseling.
眼面部整形手术后的患者满意度取决于术前预期，而术前预期可能会受到网络资料的影响。健康素养较差的患者尤其容易受到错误信息和低质量资源的影响。然而，很少有研究评估常见眼面部整形手术和操作的网络信息质量。本研究旨在回顾关于眼面部整形手术相关网络资料的可读性和质量的文献。我们对PubMed/MEDLINE数据库进行了系统检索，纳入了10项研究进行综述。在这些研究报告的可读性得分中，最低分为10分，相当于十年级的阅读水平。此外，根据多个评分量表，网络资料的质量通常被评为“差”。我们对文献的系统综述表明，涵盖常见眼面部整形手术操作的网络资料质量一直很差，且超出了推荐的可读性水平。因此，考虑这些影响患者预期的网络资料可以使眼面部整形外科医生更好地调整他们的术前咨询。
