The overarching aim of this collaborative is to facilitate the enrolled hospitals to achieve a post-operative BCVA of 6/12 or better in 90% of the cataract surgery operated eyes on the latest follow-up day ranging from 7 days to 45 days (For PHACO minimum 7 days & for SICS 30 days)
Collaborative Rationale
Aspiring to get desired surgical outcomes is the key focus in any eye hospital. In many eye hospitals, despite constant efforts, there is a persisting challenge on achieving this goal. The journey becomes tough due to lack of clarity in know-how, absence of good systems and protocols, not able to rightly arrive at the root cause and addressing it, appropriate training, maintaining consistency etc. This collaborative will enable hospitals to make them understand their current situation and move towards excellence in surgical outcomes through implementing the right practices
Any eye hospital (private or not-for-profit) who strongly desire to improve the quality of Cataract Surgical outcomes and the willingness to make necessary investments, implementing the identified change ideas.
