Why PhacoBook

Built by surgeons, for the OR.

Cataract surgery generates a lot of structured data. PhacoBook captures it once, cleanly — and turns it into something you can learn from.

Structured operative forms

Purpose-built forms for preop assessment, intraoperative data and postop follow-up. No free-text soup — every field is a real, analyzable data point.

Colleague-aligned metrics

Your cases contribute to an anonymous shared registry, so your distribution of techniques, IOLs and outcomes sits alongside the wider community's.

Patient pseudonymization

Patients are referenced by an ID you control. Clinical data is captured against a pseudonym — never a name — so the shared registry stays anonymous by design.

Import & export, always

Bring data in and take it out whenever you want. PhacoBook is where your surgical record lives — not a place it gets locked in.

Guided workflow

Assign a surgical flow to a case and PhacoBook walks you through the pending forms in order — a clear progress bar tells you exactly what's left.

Training & PROMs, too

Beyond surgery data: run trainee evaluations (OSCAR, NOTSS) and patient-reported outcomes (Catquest-9SF, NAVQ) from the same record.

How it works

From first case to full record in three steps.

1 Register & add a patient

Assign a surgical flow to a case.

Validate your email, add a patient by the ID you choose, and assign the cataract surgery flow. PhacoBook creates the case and queues every form it needs.

2 Capture the surgery

Fill the operative forms.

Work through preop, intraop and postop forms — structured fields for biometry, technique, IOL, complications and outcomes. Everything is validated as you go.

3 See your metrics

Read your reports.

Your dashboard summarizes your case mix and outcomes and — through the anonymous registry — shows how they compare with the wider community. Open reports from the home screen any time.

One record, many views

Surgery data, training and PROMs — together.

Switch between the surgical record, trainee evaluations and patient-reported outcomes without leaving the app.

The PhacoBook training dashboard with trainee evaluations

Training

Structured trainee evaluations (OSCAR, NOTSS) and evaluation-completion metrics for supervised cases.

The PhacoBook PROMs dashboard with patient-reported outcomes

PROMs

Patient-reported outcome measures (Catquest-9SF, NAVQ) captured and scored against each case.

The shared registry

Your cases, in context.

Every case you document contributes to an anonymous, compatible registry. That's what makes your metrics meaningful: a distribution of one surgeon's cases is noise; a distribution against thousands of peers is a benchmark.

  • Anonymous by construction — patient identity never leaves your device.
  • Structured & compatible — the same fields, everywhere, so data actually aggregates.
  • Yours to leave — export your full record whenever you want.
