Eye Care Quality & Safety Results

Based on Malaysia National Eye Survey II 2014 report, cataract is the most common cause of blindness. The good news is this is preventable. SJMC's highly experienced eye surgeons offer cataract surgery.

To measure the quality of cataract surgery, SJMC monitors the percentage of patients without ocular co-morbidity who obtained visual acuity of 6/12 or better within (≤) 3 months following cataract surgery.

SJMC's clinical outcome for visual success is comparable to published literature from US, UK and Singapore and meets the target of 90% recommended in the Malaysian Hospital Accreditation

Standards and Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (APACRS) Principles of Preferred Practice in Cataract Surgery 2017.

Percentage of patients without ocular co-morbidity obtained visual acuity of 6/12 or better within (≤) 3 months following cataract surgery (A higher rate is better).
