A concept-level overview of the app — the workflow, the forms, and the ideas behind the shared registry. New here? Start with the Get started guide.
A cataract case in PhacoBook is a surgical flow — an ordered set of forms assigned to a patient. Assign a flow, and the app tracks which forms are pending and complete, showing a progress bar per case until the record is finished.
Each step of the phaco workflow has its own structured form: preop (assessment & biometry), intraop (technique, IOL, complications), and postop (day-1 and month-1 follow-up). Every field is a discrete, analyzable data point.
Documented cases contribute to a shared, compatible registry. Because every surgeon records the same structured fields, cases aggregate — turning your single-surgeon numbers into a benchmark. Patient identity never enters the registry; only anonymous clinical data does.
Beyond surgery data, the same patient record supports supervised-case evaluations (OSCAR, NOTSS) for trainees and validated patient-reported outcome measures (Catquest-9SF, NAVQ). Switch views from the top of the app.
Your home dashboard summarizes your case mix and outcomes, and — through the registry — how they compare with the community. Open reports from the home screen or the top menu at any time.
Your record is yours. Import existing data and export your full record whenever you like — there is no lock-in. See the privacy policy for how data is handled.
The fastest way to understand PhacoBook is to document a case. Open the app and assign your first surgical flow.
