A patient had LASIK 8 years ago and now needs cataract surgery. Optimally, you would like to have the pre-LASIK refraction, topography, and other information to assist with IOL calculations, but the chart at the previous provider's office (or maybe even your own) has been purged or is not available. Would it not be nice if such information were archived online in some format readily accessible by a Web-based interface?
