Outcome-based registration is an important aspect of quality assurance in clinical medicine. Cataract surgery has become a more advanced and difficult procedure than in the past. To assess the overall quality of cataract surgery in Norway, it is necessary to establish nationwide registration of relevant clinical data. We suggest a number of parameters identifying the quality of medical performance in cataract surgery. These parameters may be used in a central cataract register.
