From Numbers to Meaning: Graphical Reporting in Refractive Surgery
Automated standardized graphs facilitate refractive surgery outcome analysis.
In the rapidly evolving field of refractive surgery, the gap between surgical innovation and outcomes analysis has long hindered clinical progress.
Without standardized methods to measure and compare surgical outcomes, clinicians struggled to identify which techniques truly delivered superior results, making it difficult to adopt best practices or abandon ineffective approaches.
Waring III, MD, introduced a standardized reporting framework with 6 fundamental graphs, the ophthalmology community has recognized that precise, consistent outcome measurement is essential for advancing surgical techniques and improving patient care.
This framework, which was later expanded to 9 graphs to also address astigmatism outcomes, established the foundation for evidence-based practice in refractive surgery.
