At Blue Fin Vision®, every refractive surgery is recorded in high definition as routine practice. Recordings are time-stamped, securely stored, and managed in line with governance and data-protection requirements. ¹
Surgical video supports audit, learning, and quality assurance by allowing detailed review of routine and complex cases. ² Evidence shows that video-based review and coaching can improve technical performance, support earlier identification of complications, and strengthen safety frameworks. ² ³
Routine recording also normalises scrutiny. Knowing that every case can be reviewed encourages consistent adherence to safety protocols and operating standards. ¹ ² For patients, the existence of an objective visual record adds an additional layer of accountability and transparency regarding what occurred in theatre.
