Ophthalmologists worldwide show evolving preferences in refractive surgery (RS). This survey reveals shifts in practice patterns compared to previous years, indicating ongoing development in the field.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Surgical Trends

Background:

  • Refractive surgery (RS) encompasses procedures to correct vision defects.
  • Understanding ophthalmologists' preferences is crucial for tracking industry evolution.
  • Previous surveys provide a baseline for comparison.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current refractive surgery (RS) preferences among ophthalmologists globally.
  • To compare contemporary preferences with historical data from 2003.
  • To identify trends and changes in the practice of refractive surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Questionnaires were distributed to 8897 members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
  • A total of 1053 responses were collected by the deadline.

  • Response data was analyzed and compared to the 2003 survey results.

    • Main Results:

    • The survey included a diverse range of ophthalmology specialists, with comprehensive ophthalmologists forming the largest group (48.8%).
    • Refractive surgery specialists constituted 11.6% of respondents.
    • Comparison with the 2003 survey indicated continued development and change in refractive surgery practices.

    Conclusions:

    • Ophthalmologists' preferences and practices in refractive surgery are dynamic.
    • The field of refractive surgery continues to evolve significantly.
    • Data suggests ongoing innovation and adaptation within the ophthalmic community regarding vision correction procedures.
