According to the literature, preoperative evaluation has been shown in studies to be the first step in ensuring that patients' anesthesia care is carried out safely. In cataract surgery, which is a day anesthesia procedure frequently observed in the geriatric population, topical-local anesthesia is mostly applied. It is believed that preoperative anesthesia evaluation will be beneficial due to the complications that may develop during the procedure, patient safety and therefore the duration of postoperative hospital stay. The aim of the study is to evaluate patients who may need anesthesia intervention among patients whose preoperative anesthesia evaluations have been completed due to the possibility of consultation from the anesthesia department if necessary for patients who will undergo cataract surgery with local-topical anesthesia.
