The Wellington Eye Clinic is a prestigious eye care clinic in Dublin, Ireland offering all types of refractive surgery. In their constant quest to be at the forefront of ophthalmology, they use the latest proven diagnostic and therapeutic modalities to ensure that patients receive the best individual treatment options.
Doctor Arthur Cummings is a consultant eye surgeon and the head of the Department of Ophthalmology at Beacon Hospital. He has vast experience in LASIK and refractive and cataract surgery and is an internationally renowned expert on nomogram creation for customized laser treatments, keratoconus treatments and cataract surgery.
Doctor Cummings and his team are dedicated to achieving the best results for their patients.
With the same aim at heart, the web-based IBRA Digital Health Suite has been designed to support refractive surgeons in analysing and improving refractive and visual outcomes on an individual basis, and in obtaining the highest eye care standards every time.
In order to achieve the best possible outcome for his patients, Doctor Cummings constantly analyses his outcomes in order to improve them: “I think that any serious refractive surgeon should continually be looking at their outcomes very closely in order to improve them further and also to spot less favorable trends early.” That is exactly the aim of IBRA software: assisting the surgeon in collecting and analyzing data in order to improve outcomes. This is an asset to every individual surgeon, but it is of particularly great value to any clinical director. “The nomogram function has the potential to further enhance refractive outcomes,” says Doctor Cummings. “IBRA allows us to perform audits at any time. We are able to analyze each surgeon’s individual performance.”
His experience of many years as a refractive surgeon has made him an expert on customized laser treatments. This requires, of course, an individualised approach in each case for each patient. IBRA software supports a patient-orientated focus. It calculates individual nomograms for every patient. “Based on the results we can optimize the nomograms to improve the outcome, individually.” The software does not only deliver patient customized analysis; if needed, IBRA can also be customized to any additional enquiries of surgeons and clinic. “I have found the people behind IBRA to be very keen to help wherever possible and very approachable.”
Due to his great expertise, Doctor Cummings is involved in lecturing and teaching refractive surgery both locally and internationally. IBRA gives him the accurate and accessible data he needs for his presentations, everywhere he goes. “The outcomes are presented in the format proposed by George Waring in the JRS. At the click of a button, vast amounts of data can be analyzed and presented in useful graphics… the program is internet-based and that means that I can use it at one time and at another time, from a different location, one of my staff can be entering data. In a nutshell, it's always with me and on any computer I choose to use.”
Fortunately, the extensive possibilities and features that IBRA software offers do not make it complicated to use. “It's simple to use and I have found data entry less cumbersome than with other packages,” says Doctor Cummings. “I think that it represents good value for money.”
