Seventh cataract audit annual report
The RCOphth is delighted to announce its latest annual report. Audit results also show that cataract surgery is being undertaken at an earlier stage in the disease process than ever before, possibly because of the increasing safety of the procedure. Data gathered from 177 centres over a 12-month period to 31 March 2023 indicate that fewer than 1 in 200 patients experience substantial reduction in vision following cataract surgery.
Second NOD Age-related macular degeneration audit annual report
The audit report presents an analysis of data submitted by 66 centres across the UK and involving 26,847 eyes of 24,300 patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NvAMD) who started their treatment between April 2021 and March 2022. Treatment providers can use the information to compare outcomes with national aggregates and local peers, identify key clinical care processes and share best practice.
