A survey of the members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) with a United States ZIP code was performed in July 2003. Approximately 15.5% (985) of the 6350 questionnaires were returned for analysis. Three main profile questions were used in the cross-tabulation: age of the respondent, geographic location, and volume of cataract surgery per month. The refractive surgical questions were cross-tabulated for the volume of laser in situ keratomileusis. Results of the survey were compared with those in previous surveys of ASCRS members.

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 questionnaires mailed were returned before the November cutoff. Three profile questions were used to cross-tabulate: age of the opthalmologist, geographic location, and volume of cataract surgery per month. Current data were compared with data of previous surveys.
