The Multifocal Pathway: A Pilot Study of a Trainee-Led Multifocal Intraocular Lens Protocol in a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Australia
The selection pathway presented overcomes the challenges in patient selection inherent to a public hospital setting and was implemented by a senior trainee with excellent vision and PROMs. The pathway ensures the cost-effectiveness of mfOL implantation. There are several funding models that can be applied to support equitable access and improved visual outcomes with mfIOLs within the government funded health system.
