Measure Type: Outcome
Visual Acuity Improvement Following Cataract Surgery and Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery
Percentage of eyes of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of cataract who had cataract surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery and achieved 20/30 best-corrected distance visual acuity or better within 4 months following the cataract surgery.
Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Gain of Visual Acuity
Percentage of patients with a diagnosis of exudative age-related macular degeneration, being treated with anti-VEGF agents, with a gain of 1 Snellen line or more (which is equivalent to 0.1 logMAR or more) of visual acuity within the past 12 months compared to pre-treatment. Weighted average of performance rates reported.
Diabetic Macular Edema – Loss of Visual Acuity
Percentage of patients with a diagnosis of diabetic macular edema with a loss of less than 3 Snellen lines (which is equivalent to less than 0.3 logMAR) within the past 12 months.
Acute Anterior Uveitis: Post-treatment Grade 0 anterior chamber cells
Percentage of patients with acute anterior uveitis post-treatment with Grade 0 anterior chamber cells
Refractive Surgery: Patients with a postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better within 30 days
Percentage of patients with an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better within 30 days
Endothelial Keratoplasty – Dislocation Requiring Surgical Intervention
Percentage of endothelial keratoplasty patients with a rebubbling or revision or repair procedure within 90 days after surgery
Intraocular Pressure Reduction Following Trabeculectomy or an Aqueous Shunt Procedure
Percentage of patients who underwent trabeculectomy or aqueous shunt procedure who had IOP reduced by 20% or more from their pretreatment between 3 and 4 months of treatment or a reduction in overall number of glaucoma medications.
Amblyopia: Interocular visual acuity
Percentage of newly diagnosed amblyopic patients with one or more of the following: A. a corrected interocular (or if not reported, the uncorrected) visual acuity difference less than 0.23 logMAR 3-12 months after first diagnosis of amblyopia OR B. an improvement in the corrected visual acuity of the amblyopic eye of 3 or more Snellen lines (> or = 0.30 logMAR) 3-12 months after first diagnosis of amblyopia OR C. a final visual acuity in the amblyopic eye equal to 20/30 or better (less than or equal to 0.18 log Mar) 3-12 months after first diagnosis of amblyopia
Complications After Cataract Surgery
Percentage of eyes of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of cataract who had cataract surgery and had the following complications with 90 days after cataract surgery: prolonged inflammation, incision complications, iris complications, retinal detachment, cystoid macular edema, corneal complications, or a return to OR.
