Abstract
A survey of the practice styles and preferences of the 1995 members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery with a U.S. ZIP code was performed in September 1995. Approximately 27% (1500) of the 5500 questionnaires mailed were returned by the December cutoff date. Four main profile questions were used to cross-tabulate data: age of the ophthalmologist, geographic location, volume of cataract surgery per month, and volume of refractive surgery per month. Current data were compared with data in previous annual surveys.
