PROMs in ophthalmology
Beyond visual acuity
Refraction, optical coherence tomography, corneal topography, fundus examination: ophthalmology has no shortage of clinical tests. But these indicators reveal nothing about the discomfort caused by glare, difficulty driving at night, or the visual fatigue that persists despite technically successful surgery.
PROMs bridge the gap between what examinations show and what patients experience in daily life.
For cataracts
Two patients with comparable postoperative visual acuity can present radically different health outcomes. PROMs enable you to:
- Quantify the real impact of cataract and its surgery on daily life beyond measured acuity
- Assess symptoms such as glare, halos, night vision, spectacle independence
- Personalize implant choice based on patient expectations and lifestyle
Aggregated data support continuous improvement of surgical practices and clinical research.
“PROMs benchmarking has reconciled me with evaluation: scientific, comparative, transparent and focused on improvement.”

President of the Society of Intra-Ocular Lenses and Refractive Surgery (SAFIR)
