A Black ophthalmic surgeon reflects on his experience with legal claims following successful refractive lens exchange surgeries, highlighting a critical gap in modern surgical practice: documentation. Despite achieving clinical success, the surgeon faced claims regarding inadequate risk communication. This prompted him to overhaul his practice, adopting solutions like recording operations and AI-assisted consultation documentation to address the evidence gap in medicolegal cases. He advocates for radical transparency in surgery, emphasizing that documentation is vital for both patient safety and professional accountability in ophthalmology.
