Refractive Outcomes

Refractive outcomes refer to how well a person's vision is improved after eye surgery, such as cataract or laser correction. Essentially, it measures how closely the final vision matches the intended prescription, like clear distance or near sight. Good refractive outcomes mean the patient sees well without glasses or contacts, while poor outcomes may leave residual blur. Ophthalmologists evaluate these results to determine the success of the procedure and to plan future care. Overall, it reflects the accuracy of the surgery in achieving the desired visual improvement.
