Daycase Cataract Surgery Audit 20th of April, 2004. Singleton Hospital.
Aims • To compare post-operative refraction with predicted refraction. • To assess visual outcome.
Background • 128 forms returned from Optometrists. • Many incomplete. • 104 considered for Biometry accuracy. • 110 considered for visual outcome.
Demographic detail • Age: mean 75 years (range 45- 91) • Surgery June 2003- Jan 2004. • Forms returned 46.1days (2-120).
Refraction- more detail 79% within 1 Dioptre predicted refraction.* • Mean difference: +0.37D. • Range : -2.22 to +3.88D difference. • 21 patients (21%) 1D outside predicted refraction. Most major studies 90% within 1 dioptre*. National Swedish Register range difference up to 1.19D, mean 0.9D.
Where are the outliers? • 68% more +ve (71) • 29% more –ve (31) 0
More Detail Outliers • AL -1 patient > 24.5mm -2 patients < 22.0mm • Keratometry -3 patients > 1D difference • Most patients no obvious cause for inaccuracy (Only 57% files available, 12 of 21)
Visual Outcome • Pre-op VA Mean : 6/30 (0.70) Range: 6/12 – 6/190 (0.25-<1.50) • Post-op VA Mean : 6/9+ (0.13) Range: 6/5 -6/36 (-0.08- 0.78)
Visual Outcome • 91% had VA 6/12+. • No patient had VA < 6/36 . National Cataract Audit :77% VA 6/12 at discharge.
Poor visual outcome 12 patients VA 6/12 – 9 files looked at.
How compare to 2003? • IOL master used more 2004 • 2003- 85% 1D - range -2.42 to 1.37 - mean difference +0.64D
Conclusions • Incomplete forms. • IOL master more accurate? • Use Hoffer Q etc. • Personalise A constants. • Can’t account fully for unexpected results.
