Generic ophthalmology software falls apart at the cataract pathway
Most practice software handles a baseline eye exam well enough. The moment a cataract case enters the schedule, the workflow fragments. Biometry results live in the device. Surgical-day notes live in the OR's local system. Post-op refractive checks live in follow-up visit free-text. The surgeon's chart-at-a-glance becomes a chart-across-three-screens.
IOL data stuck in biometry devices
Calculation results that should travel with the patient end up screenshotted, emailed, or re-keyed — losing the audit trail.
OR-day documentation that doesn't survive
Surgical parameters captured on paper or in disconnected systems mean post-op problem-solving starts with a phone call to the surgeon.
Post-op outcomes scattered
Refractive outcomes at one week, one month, three months — fragmented across visit notes, never aggregated for the surgeon's own outcomes review.
