Abstract
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists recently published evidence-based guidance on commissioning for cataract surgery in response to reports of wide geographical variation in access to cataract surgery in England, and the increasing use of arbitrary Snellen visual acuity thresholds to govern access to cataract surgery. This article summarises the main findings of the Commissioning Guidance and current issues surrounding cataract surgery provision in the NHS. The methodology used to develop this guidance was granted National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) accreditation in July 2015.
