Results: The total score of transitional care needs among patients with keratoplasty in day ward was 88.13±15.55. The demand for disease related knowledge was the highest (4.39±0.66), the demand for mental nursing was the lowest (2.72±1.18). In terms of the way of implementation, 74.6% patients preferred telephone follow-up and only 5.8% preferred door-to-door service.
