9,836 cataract surgeries billed to traditional Medicare, 2013–2024 — top 5% of active U.S. cataract surgeons by Medicare volume — top 6% of 55 active cataract surgeons in the Cleveland, OH region. Counts only cataract surgeries billed to traditional Medicare (CMS public data, 2013–2024). It excludes commercial insurance, Medicare Advantage and self-pay patients, and CMS withholds any year with fewer than 11 patients for a procedure, so it represents only a fraction of total cases. Verified by KOLective from CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners — by Provider and Service. How calculated
