About

This indicator mesures the number of cataract surgeries that are waiting longer than one year to be completed, as of the last reported day of quarter. The number of procedures reported are a subset of those from the indicator "Number of cataract surgeries waiting to be completed". Data is based on place of service (where the surgery is performed) and is reported quarterly.

Notes

For the reporting periods Apr-Jun 2023, Jul-Sep 2023 and part of Oct-Dec 2023, the Surgical Access Registry did not receive complete data for Zone 7, due to the implementation of private clinics doing public Cataract Procedures. Data on cataract surgery should therefore be interpreted with caution for these three reporting periods.
This indicator does not include emergency surgeries. Source data is from the Provincial Surgical Access Registry.
