  • IRIS Registry Data Analysis

  • The American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research In Sight) represents a remarkable opportunity for knowledge discovery and collaborative studies. 

    As of Oct. 1, 2023, the world’s largest specialty clinical data registry, the IRIS Registry, has aggregated, de-identified data on over 434.5 million visits and 72.7 million unique patients, growing daily.

    Approximately 13,619 clinicians in ophthalmology practices have registered to contribute their data to the IRIS Registry through their electronic health record systems.

    How It Works

    EHR data is stripped of all unique patient identifiers when it is uploaded into IRIS Registry for privacy purposes. Participating physicians own their own data. The Academy owns the de-identified, aggregated data and can analyze these data. The database has the same legal protections and safeguards from legal discoverability, as do hospital-based peer-review processes.

    Ways to Use Our Data 

    The IRIS Registry’s database can help to inform the natural history of diseases, prevalence of rare diseases, practice patterns, diffusion of technology, comparative effectiveness and more, all in the real-world setting. Data elements include: patient demographics, patient medical and ocular history, clinical examination findings, diagnoses, procedures and medications.

    As an example, the registry currently contains data on the following disease conditions:

    • The rate of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery, the visual outcome of patients with endophthalmitis and specific risk factors associated with developing endophthalmitis
    • The rate of endophthalmitis after anti-VEGF injections across different agents and the comparative effectiveness of these agents based on visual acuity outcomes
    • The prevalence of myopic choroidal neovascularization in the United States, based on both diagnostic code information and clinical data
    • The treatment patterns for patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization, including the visual acuity outcomes for those treated and those not treated
