“…5 We also have a clear example in a study about the prevalence of laser visual correction (LVC) in the USA among ophthalmologists who perform refractive surgery. 6 In this online survey, 62.6% of the surgeons who were candidates for LVC had it performed on their own eyes and more than 90% of all respondents recommended it for their immediate family. This percentage is four times higher than actual LVC figures in the general population in the USA at that moment, of only 13.1%.…”

Purpose To determine the preferred type of intraocular lens (IOL) that ophthalmologists would choose for themselves in case of cataract surgery. Design Prospective convenience questionnaire study. Materials and Methods We developed an electronic survey with seven (7) questions, combining multiple and open options. The following categories were established: monofocal (MonoIOL) without monovision (MonoIOL-SM) and with monovision (MonoIOL-CM) and multifocal (MultiIOL) that could be either a bifocal (MultiIOL-B), trifocal (MultiIOL-T) or extended focus (MultiIOL-E). The link for the survey was sent to ophthalmologists from Latin America and Spain through different ways. The 1209 responses were analyzed statistically. Results We received 1209 responses from 14 countries. The average age was 47.977 years (SD 11.711 years). Gender distribution was 839 males (72.8%) and 313 females (27.2%). Overall preference was MonoIOL-SM 23.90% (289), MonoIOL-CM 12.16% (147), MultiIOL-B 4.63% (56), MultiIOL-T 34.99% (423), MultiIOL-E 15.22% (110), and unsure 9.10% (110). Ophthalmologists that implant IOLs showed a greater preference for MultiIOL (64%) than those who did not implant IOLs (32.3%). Although all ophthalmologists preferred MultiIOL, anterior segment specialists chose them more frequently (59.1%) than posterior segment specialists (41%). Conclusion Ophthalmologists would prefer to receive a multifocal IOL implantation despite the lower frequency of multifocal IOL implantation observed in the general population. The frequency was greater among ophthalmologists who implant IOLs compared to those who do not implant them. It was also greater among those who identified themselves as anterior segment specialists compared to posterior segment specialists.

“…Esses achados corroboram dados recentes da literatura, que sugerem que os oftalmologistas e, mais especificamente, os cirurgiões refrativos tendem a se submeter a essas cirurgias com maior frequência do que o resto da população. (10,11) Ainda que seja um dos procedimentos eletivos mais realizados e com maior sucesso em todo o mundo, (12) a CVL não deve ser entendida como procedimento isento de riscos ou complicações, (4,13) sendo o olho seco considerado a mais frequente, (14) e a ectasia corneana uma das principais preocupações. (15)(16)(17) No entanto, quase um quarto da população estudada considerou o procedimento simples e isento de riscos.…”

“…Par conséquent, la chirurgie oculaire au laser a permis aux patients d'accéder à des professions qu'ils ne pouvaient pas exercer auparavant en raison des erreurs de réfraction 10 .

Bien que le LASIK et la PKR soient utilisés depuis vingt ans, il y a eu peu d’études à long terme sur la chirurgie réfractive. La présente étude a examiné les résultats à long terme du LASIK et de la PKR et a analysé les risques, les avantages et les percées technologiques de ces procédures. Les taux et les causes de la satisfaction des patients sont discutés en détail. Les autres possibilités telles que l’extraction d’un lenticule par petite incision (SMILE) et les options chirurgicales pour la presbytie sont également explorées.
