Introduction: Knowledge and skills of quality communication predict quality work in many professions, especially in medicine. In healthcare, quality communication with patients is the basis of successful treatment. Objective: The objective of this research is to examine what kind of communication healthcare professionals have with ophthalmic patients in preoperative preparation from the patient's perception and their satisfaction with that communication. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 102 subjects participated after ophthalmological surgery. The survey was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Center Zagreb, using an anonymous survey questionnaire in the period from 1 December 2022 to 1 June 2023. Results: The majority of ophthalmic patients express high satisfaction with communication with healthcare professionals in preoperative preparation 4.5±0.9 out of a possible 5. Speech communication scores are extremely high 4.57±0.75, and patients are particularly satisfied with information about procedures and examinations. There is no significant statistical correlation between professional education and gender of patients and satisfaction with communication R=0.161, which does not confirm the assumption that patients with more professional education are more satisfied with written communication. Conclusion: High satisfaction of ophthalmic patients with communication with healthcare professionals during preoperative preparation.
