Abstract
The relationship between patient expectations, the medical outcome, and patient satisfaction is complex. It is important to determine patient's motivations and expectations before surgery. Patients should be educated on the potential side effects of refractive surgery. In case of complications, patients should be informed as soon as possible, whereby the doctor should try to maintain their trust. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
