Description
Interview with Dr. Chryssa McAlister, eye physician and surgeon in Toronto and Kitchener, Ontario, with academic appointments at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. In an analysis article published in CMAJ, Dr. McAlister and colleagues say it is important to discuss with patients any noninsured services (such as specialized diagnostics, procedures and special-feature intraocular lenses) in an ethical and open way, declaring all conflicts of interest. Cataract surgery is insured in Canada; however, there are many add-on services which patients must pay for.
