National Ophthalmology Database Excellence
For four consecutive years, Blue Fin Vision® has published audited National Ophthalmology Database (NOD) outcomes, demonstrating posterior capsule rupture rates well below national averages. This unprecedented transparency in private practice confirms the clinic’s hallmark: high volume with exemplary safety and consistency.
