This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effect of structured teleconference-based counseling provided before cataract surgery on patients' anxiety levels and predefined postoperative outcome measures. The study will be conducted between January 31, 2025, and May 31, 2025, at a public hospital located in the Western Black Sea Region. The study population will consist of patients scheduled for cataract surgery. Eligible participants will be assigned to the intervention or control group using a simple random sampling method. Patients in the intervention group will receive structured teleconference-based counseling prior to surgery, while patients in the control group will receive standard preoperative care. Data will be collected using the Patient Information Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Tele-Nursing Evaluation Form, and the Patient Outcome Form. Participants will be followed up by telephone on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. Statistical analyses of the collected data will be performed using SPSS version 29.0.
