Patient satisfaction following oculofacial cosmetic procedures depends on preoperative expectations, which may be influenced by online material. Patients with poor health literacy are particularly vulnerable to misinformation and low-quality resources. However, few studies have evaluated the quality of online information on common oculofacial plastic surgeries and procedures. This study aimed to review the literature on the readability and quality of online material related to oculofacial plastic surgery. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database and included 10 studies in our review. Among the readability scores reported in these studies, the lowest was 10, representing a tenth-grade reading level. Furthermore, the online materials were often rated as "poor" quality based on multiple grading scales. Our systematic review of the literature demonstrates that online materials covering common oculofacial plastic surgery procedures are consistently of poor quality and exceed the recommended readability level. Therefore, considering these online materials that influence patient expectations could enable oculofacial plastic surgeons to better tailor their preoperative counseling.
