:
: All data was recorded using an electronic medical record (EMR) system (Medisoft Ophthalmology; Medisoft Limited, Leeds, UK), which mandates collection of a standardised data set throughout a patient’s care pathway. The lead clinician and Caldicott Guardian (nominee responsible for data protection) at the hospital gave written approval for anonymised data extraction. Anonymised database analyses of this type do not require ethical permission because they are viewed as audit or service evaluations (see ExternalRef removed). This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act.
