A survey of the practice styles and preferences of members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery with a United States ZIP code was performed in August 2000. Approximately 26% (1400) of 5342 questionnaires mailed were returned prior to the November cutoff date. Three profile questions were used to cross-tabulate: age of the ophthalmologist, geographic location, and volume of cataract surgery per month. Current data were compared with data in previous surveys. J Cataract Refract Surg 2001; 27. 948-955 (C) 2001 ASCRS and ESCRS.
