Risk Management



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
Vice President, Risk Management
