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.
