Summary:[...]walking my talk and perhaps initiating what I am told was 1 of the most dangerous and uncontrolled ways to be held accountable for my work-for life. [...]the notes of these well-meaning referring surgeons reflect their own perceptive success in documenting a "clear transplant," "well-placed lens implant," "improved topography," and other such objective indicators, while nearly disregarding the fact that the patient is painstakingly seeking a second opinion due to disappointment with the visual result. The result is that the patients will report their visual failure and spread it on social media to ensure that their negative experience is spread far and wide while repeatedly cajoling surgeons to understand that the patient and the end point and not the surgical maneuvers or technologies are the goals. [...]most of these referred cases are the direct result of an inadequate understanding of which lens implant technology works in which situation.
