We used to spend way too much time and money dilating our cataract patients. Not only were we using a different set of eye-drop orders for each of our five ophthalmologists, but our staff was spending about an hour giving each patient nearly 20 drops. You can imagine how the pre-op nurses dreaded busy cataract surgery days at our hospital-based, freestanding ASC. I'd like to share with you our new, simpler and streamlined method of dilating.
