ShyTorque - thanks for the pm.


It`s very difficult to get information on any residual refractive error after cataract surgery.


The Royal College of Ophthalmologists guidelines state that the expected level of accuracy of biometry is a postoperative spherical refractive error of no more than ± 1 dioptre in at least 85% of patients - potentially quite an error!
Also that the nhs do not routinely follow up patients to asses any residual refractive error.


Any more experiences, good or less so?
