Cataract surgery is a common ophthalmic procedure in the United States and is increasingly performed in office-based settings. This study assessed the rates of intra- or post-operative adverse events in three types of lens surgeries, including cataracts. Findings suggest similar or lower adverse event rates for office-based cataract or refractive lens surgery when compared to surgeries performed in ambulatory surgery centers or hospital operating rooms.
