😷👎 A growing shortage of surgeons across the U.S., combined with an aging population more vulnerable to eye diseases, is pushing the healthcare system to explore new solutions. Could office-based surgery be the answer?
🤔 As the demand for cataract surgery steadily rises, more ophthalmologists are turning to office-based procedures. This model offers several benefits—more personalized care, improved patient comfort, reduced anxiety, and added convenience—all without the need for a hospital or surgical centre.
✅ Research featured in the Review of Ophthalmology supports this shift, showing that office-based surgeries offer safety outcomes comparable to those performed in ambulatory surgery centres, with low rates of postoperative complications.
👁️ With continued progress in the field, office-based surgery is positioned to play a larger role in ophthalmology. Still, it’s essential for eye care professionals to assess each patient’s unique needs when choosing between in-office or ambulatory surgical settings.
