title: Glaucoma surgery treatment patterns of ASCRS members--2000 survey.
abstract: A survey of glaucoma surgery parameters was mailed to all the United States members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery in 1999 and 2000. Of the 5659 surveys mailed, 725 (13%) were returned. The survey assessed parameters used in glaucoma surgical treatment. Preferred surgery treatment patterns were cross-tabulated with fellowship training in glaucoma (9.3%) and geographic location. This report summarizes current practice styles and patterns of comprehensive ophthalmologists in the United States as derived from the survey.
