Refractive Surgery Recommendations (2022)
| October 10, 2022
Dear OMIC Insureds: We have updated our Risk Management Recommendations for Refractive Surgery: https://www.omic.com/refractive-surgery-recommendations-2022/. Intraocular refractive surgery with IOL poses a higher risk for patients than refractive procedures performed on the corneal surface. These patients tend to have high expectations and pay for these procedures out-of-pocket, which can heighten the likelihood of dissatisfaction and professional liability lawsuits. If you have questions about these recommendations, or would like to have a confidential risk management consultation, please contact us at riskmanagement@omic.com or 1-800-562-6642, enter 4 for Risk Management. Sincerely, Linda Harrison, PhD __________ |
