ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Since 1995, we have annually surveyed the members of the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (KSCRS) on cataract surgery technique, anesthesia, intraocular lens and refractive surgery to understand the current situation and future trends in these fields. METHODS: Eighth annual survey forms consisted of 114 multiple-choice questions mailed in Feburary 2003 to 385 ophthalmologists of the KSCRS. Approximately 28.1% of the questionaires mailed were returned. Current data were compared with previous annual survey and data from Japan and USA. RESULTS: Hospitalized period is decreased annually and use of topical anesthesia (44%) increased. Self sealing wound construction was the main wound closure technique in phacoemulsification accounted for 54%. Most preferred intraocular lenses for small incision cataract surgery are acrylic (58%), increased highly. The number of members performing excimer laser keratomileusis for refractive surgery was increased (77%). Most respondants preferred LASIK without regard to diopter range. Legal problems on excimer laser and LASIK is in increased. The implantation of phakic IOL is performed by 17% of the members and 91% of members are interested in it. CONCLUSIONS: From this survey, we found current trend and change in cataract and refractive surgery in Korea are similar to those of Japan and USA.
