TI  - Patient Harm in Cataract Surgery: A Series of Adverse Events in Massachusetts.

AB  - Massachusetts state agencies received reports of 37 adverse events (AEs) 
      involving cataract surgery from 2011 to 2015. Fifteen were anesthesia related, 
      including 5 wrong eye blocks, 3 cases of hemodynamic instability, 2 retrobulbar 
      hematoma/hemorrhages, and 5 globe perforations resulting in permanent loss of 
      vision. While Massachusetts' reported AEs likely underrepresent the true number 
      of AEs that occur during cataract surgery, they do offer useful signal data to 
      indicate the types of patient harm occurring during these procedures.
