Patients who underwent cataract surgery had a higher quality of life and were able to participate daily in independent activities, which may explain the lower mortality rate, according to a news release.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
