title: Practice styles and preferences of ASCRS members--2002 survey.
abstract: A survey of the practice styles and preferences of members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) with a United States ZIP code was performed in August 2002. Approximately 18% (1056) of the 5816 questionnaires mailed were returned. Three profile questions were used to cross-tabulate: age of the respondent, geographic location, and volume of cataract surgery per month. The refractive surgical questions were cross-tabulated for the volume of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Data in this survey were compared with those in previous surveys of ASCRS members.
