Automated standardized graphs facilitate refractive surgery outcome analysis, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and outcomes analysis.
In the rapidly evolving field of refractive surgery, the lack of standardized methods to measure and compare surgical outcomes hindered clinical progress.
A standardized reporting framework, introduced by Waring III, MD, with 6 fundamental graphs, has been recognized as essential for advancing surgical techniques and improving patient care.
This framework was later expanded to 9 graphs to address astigmatism outcomes, establishing the foundation for evidence-based practice in refractive surgery.
Precise, consistent outcome measurement is essential for advancing surgical techniques and improving patient care.
Author's summary: Standardized graphs improve refractive surgery outcomes analysis.
