Thankyou to Cataract and Refractive Surgery Today for publishing some work that we had done earlier in the year on Standardisation of Terminology via the Refractive Surgery Terminology Committee (RTSC) – a subcommittee of the Refractive Surgical Alliance.
In the words of Dan Durrie – Words matter.
Clear and concise communication serves our patients best and allows them to best make choices about what technologies might be best suited to them, without unnecessary confusion. Avoidance of terms that are subject to industry manipulation is the ethical thing to do.
