“…In public health, especially in cataract surgery programs, the number of surgeries performed is directly proportional to the funds available to pay for the procedures [15,16]. Thus, we can infer that the progression of public investments in cataract surgery in Brazil from 2010 to 2021, similar to the rate of PIB growth, led to an increase in the number of surgeries.…”

It makes it even more imperative to minimize treatment costs without compromising quality of care.…”
