Clinical dataset for refractive surgery services. Defines the standard variables for patient details, assessment, surgery and patient-reported outcomes so data can be collected consistently for audit.

This dataset supports consistent recording of refractive surgery across patient details, assessment, operation data and patient-reported outcomes. It is structured to support national registry work as well as local audit, benchmarking and research. By standardising core fields and definitions, it helps services collect more useful data and compare outcomes across providers and systems with greater confidence.
