Measure Type: Outcome
Regaining Vision After Cataract Surgery
Percentage of eyes of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of cataract had cataract surgery and had 20/20 best-corrected distance visual acuity or better OR an improvement in best-corrected distance visual acuity achieved within 30 days following the cataract surgery. Weighted average of performance rates reported.
