ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Realizar o primeiro censo brasileiro de cirurgia refrativa. MÉTODOS: Entre agosto de 2001 e fevereiro de 2002 foram enviados questionários para 7.890 oftalmologistas brasileiros, com questões sobre aspectos demográficos, tendências, padrões de práticas, instrumentos, cuidados pré-operatórios e mercado da cirurgia refrativa. RESULTADOS: Novecentos e vinte questionários (11,67 por cento) foram devidamente respondidos. O laser in situ ceratomileuse é a técnica preferida para correção de dioptrias entre +5,00 e -7,00 D. O excimer laser mais utilizado é o Nidek® EC 5000 e o microceratótomo mais freqüente é o Hansatome. Outros aspectos como: demográficos, procedimentos, técnicas, tendências, volume cirúrgico, cuidados pré-operatórios e mercado também foram analisados. CONCLUSÃO: A partir desta pesquisa, pode-se observar e monitorar aspectos demográficos, padrões de práticas, tendências, tecnologia e mercado da cirurgia refrativa no Brasil e compará-las com outras pesquisas semelhantes em outras partes do mundo.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To perform the first Brazilian refractive surgery survey. METHODS: Between August 2001 and February 2002, a questionnaire was mailed to 7890 Brazilian ophthalmologists. The questionnaire presented questions about demographic aspects, technology, instruments, market, trends, practice patterns and cost of refractive surgery. RESULTS: Nine hundred and twenty questionnaires (11.67%) were answered. LASIK is the preferred technique for correction between +5.00 and -7.00 D. The mostly used excimer laser is Nidek EC 5000, and Hansatome is the mostly used microkeratome. Others aspects like: demographic, techniques, practice patterns, trends, market, and pre-, intra- and postoperative care, were analyzed. CONCLUSION: With this survey, the Brazilian ophthalmologists can observe and monitor these aspects of refractive surgery in Brazil, and compare them with others surveys.
