Material and Method: Questionnaires were sent to 600 ophthalmologists who were the members of the Ophthalmological Society and Royal Colleges of Ophthalmologists of Thailand. Data received from 248 (41.3%) of the recipients were analyzed and compared with those from the previous survey. Results: The majority of respondents were male (63.3%) while 36.7% were female. In cataract surgery, 99.2% were still doing cataract surgery, the average number of cataract surgery procedures per surgeon per month was 25.6, 89.8% preferred phacoemulsification, and 42.5% preferred acrylic lens. The posterior capsular tear was the most common complication. Conclusion: There are trends toward more cataract surgical procedures performed by a surgeon, increasing preference of topical anesthesia, small incision wound and foldable acrylic lenses which reflected the popularity of phacoemulsification. 2018-09-11T09:25:40Z 2018-09-11T09:25:40Z 2005-11-01 Journal 01252208 01252208 2-s2.0-31544446044 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=31544446044&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/62325 |
