225,000 vitrectomy surgeries are performed annually in the U.S. A time-driven cost analysis conducted at a US academic hospital found the average true cost of routine vitrectomies (including macular hole (MH) surgeries) is $7,169.79 per patient, $2,000 above CMS’s 2019 reimbursed rate. This analysis aims to quantify the potential cost impact of improved MH closure rates using a 3D-HUD system at a US academic hospital.
