Do you find that framing refractive surgery success around functional goals rather than visual acuity targets improves patient satisfaction in your practice?

The only time I would frame it this way is in someone who has limited best corrected vision pre-op.

For most patients, their goal is to see as good as possible without correction, and the way they determine that is how well they see, which correlates directly to their Snellen acuity. 20/happy is a thing for sure, but my experience with over 10,000 laser vision correction patients is that they are not happy until they are as close to 20/20 (or better) as possible.

I will say, technology does make...
