Lower Enhancement Rate

IBRA can reduce the enhancement rate by 25-33%, saving a high-volume refractive laser eye surgeon up to $13,500 a year.

Save an enhancement with IBRA and NomoCheck

“I use your IBRA program on every case (over 4000 eyes so far this year). Doing great with IBRA. Enhancement rate 2.14% over the past almost 20,000 eyes. And, we offer free lifetime enhancements so there is no financial barrier to come in if the patient requires it. Thanks for your support with IBRA.“

Scientific background

We analysed the enhancement rate of 24 surgeons before and after the introduction of IBRA refractive services. The average enhancement rate of 26,077 laser eye treatments without the use of IBRA was 7.61%. The average enhancement rate of 53,268 treatments within the first 18 months after introducing IBRA to the treatment planning process was 5.41%, showing a significant 30% reduction.

Subgroup analysis showed a 33% reduction of the enhancement rate for low-volume surgeons (<700 cases per year), and a 25% reduction of the enhancement rate for high-volume surgeons (2000+ cases per year).

Assuming an average extra cost of USD 400 for every enhancement performed, we estimate that, by using IBRA, low-volume surgeons could save up to USD 8000 per year, with high-volume surgeons potentially saving up to USD 13,500 annually.
