Practice styles and preferences of ASCRS members--1990 survey.

A survey of the practice styles and preferences of 1990 ASCRS members with a U.S. zip code was performed in September 1990. Approximately 3,620 questionnaires were sent and 45% (1,625) were returned prior to the cut-off date. Three main profile questions were used to cross-analyze the results: the age of the ophthalmologist, the volume of cataract surgery per month, and the geographic location. This report also compared the data with previously published surveys of the ASCRS membership.
