The utilization of eye care facilities by patients with a cataract was evaluated among 240 patients selected from eye care camps that were conducted by our center. Of the patients, 52.9% had visited previous eye care camps, while 19.2% consulted private ophthalmologists. Easy accessibility, reputation of a facility, competence of its staff, free service, and nearby facilities were the major reasons that were cited by patients for utilization of service facilities. Distance, monetary constraints, and a lack of professional trust, escorts, and the perception about the seriousness of their ocular condition were the main reasons that patients were not motivated to use such service facilities. Statistically significant differences were observed when past utilization of eye care camps was related to age, marital status, and source of income.
在从我们中心举办的眼科护理营中挑选出的240名患者中，评估了白内障患者对眼科护理设施的利用情况。这些患者中，52.9%曾参加过之前的眼科护理营，而19.2%咨询过私人眼科医生。服务设施易于到达、机构声誉、工作人员能力、免费服务以及附近有其他设施是患者提及的利用服务设施的主要原因。距离、经济限制、缺乏专业信任、无人陪同以及对自身眼部疾病严重性的认知是患者没有动力使用此类服务设施的主要原因。当过去参加眼科护理营的情况与年龄、婚姻状况和收入来源相关时，观察到了具有统计学意义的差异。
