Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to respondents who had a diagnosis of cataracts in one or both eyes. It is important that the time period for the medical intervention (the last 5 years) be clearly understood by the respondent, otherwise the results may not be comparable and it will be difficult to properly assess how well the health system is responding to people’s needs.

Questions to be asked only to respondents aged 60 or over.
