Richard Duffey, MD, gave results of the 2008 ISRS/AAO Member Survey during Subspecialty Day preceding the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
Refractive surgeons and their families have undergone refractive surgery themselves at four times the rate of the general population, Dr. Duffey said. "The take-home message is ... [there is a] 35% penetration among ourselves having refractive surgery on our own eyes and that's four times the general population and an even greater family index," he said. "Figure only about half of us are eligible, so that's a significant number."
For 10 D myopes, about half of members preferred phakic IOLs. For 3 D hyperopes, about two-thirds of members preferred LASIK but refractive lens exchange continued to gain. For 5 D hyperopes, two-thirds preferred refractive lens exchange over LASIK, Dr. Duffey said.
Results also showed 17% of members approve of bilateral phakic IOL implantation, up from 10% the previous year.
Surgeons preferred a flap thickness of 100 µm to 130 µm; 52% approved a minimum residual stromal bed of 250 µm and 47% preferred a residual stromal bed of more than 275 µm or more, Dr. Duffey said.
