Interventions to Mitigate Cognitive Biases in the Decision Making of Eye Care Professionals: A Systematic Review

Abstract

SIGNIFICANCE Cognitive biases, systematic errors in thinking that impact a person's choices and judgments, can influence decision making at various points during patient care provision.
