    Why Office-Based Cataract Surgery is Evolving as the New Standard of Care

    Fifty years ago, ophthalmic procedures began shifting from hospitals to outpatient ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) as a convenient, safe, and more cost-effective option. We are on the brink of the next cosmic shift in cataract surgery, the transition to office-based surgery – a better solution for patients, doctors, and the healthcare system at large. By providing surgery in our office, we can provide greater access to eyecare with more scheduling availability, efficiency, and convenience for patients.
