A survey of the practice styles and preferences of members of the American
Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery with United States ZIP codes was
performed in September 1999. Approximately 27% (1342) of 4932 questionnair
es mailed were returned before the November cutoff. Three profile questions
were used to cross-tabulate: age of the ophthalmologist, geographic locati
on, and volume of cataract surgery per month. Current data were compared wi
th data of previous surveys. (C) 2000 ASCRS and ESCRS.
