Eye Surgery Educations Council (ESEC)
The Eye Surgery Education Council (ESEC) is an initiative established by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Foundation. The ASCRS is a professional society of ophthalmologists dedicated to raising the standards and skills of surgeons, who operate on the anterior (front) segment of the eye, through clinical education, and to work with patients, government and the medical community to promote delivery of quality eye care.
The ESEC, which is committed to helping patients make informed decisions about undergoing vision correction surgery, has two missions o provide patients with accurate, accessible information and to promote active physician/patient discussion about the benefits and risks of various eye surgery procedures.
The information provided on this site is intended to provide educational information and is not intended to establish a particular standard of care, provide an exhaustive discussion of the subject of PCIOL surgery, or serve as a substitute for the application of the individual physician medical judgment in the particular circumstances presented by each patient care situation.
Candidates and prospective candidates for eye surgery should likewise understand that the information provided on this site is educational in nature and is not intended to serve as a substitute for medical advice. The decision whether to undergo eye surgery must be made by each individual based on the relevant facts and circumstances acting in consultation with an ophthalmologist.
