Cole Eye Institute Outcomes

In 2021, the institute was able to capture all cataract surgeries performed at main campus for difference between actual and target refractive error analysis. Most patients achieved a refractive outcome following cataract surgery that was near the anticipated target. In this group, 92.5% of patients achieved a final spherical equivalent refractive error within 1 diopter of the expected result.

Intraocular lenses can permanently correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, an asymmetric curvature of the focusing structures in the eye. In this group of patients who underwent cataract surgery by a single provider, 97% of patients achieved a final spherical equivalent refractive error within 1 diopter, and 100% within 2 diopters of the expected result.
