SAN FRANCISCO — Office-based surgery can be performed safely across several different ophthalmic procedures, according to a study of real-world procedures presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
Daniel S. Durrie, MD, said the in-office surgery movement has been steadily growing, and more centers are becoming interested in building an office-based surgical suite.
“You can feel these movements in ophthalmology coming,” he said. “It’s been developing over the last 10 years, but it is becoming a hot topic at this and other meetings.”<
