it's one more tool surgeons use to optimize refractive outcomes."
She was an early adaptor of wavefront aberrometry and currently
uses it in more than half of her surgeries. But her reliance on the tech-
nology might not be the norm; Dr. Hatch says less than 20% of
cataract surgeons use it regularly.
"There's a learning curve, and the platform adds several minutes to
case times," says Dr. Hatch. "But the more you use it, the more effi-
cient you become with it. You have to look at the big picture," she
continues. "Wavefront aberrometry is a worthy investment if refrac-
tive cataract surgery is important to your surgeons. Nowadays, I can't
imagine that it's not."
