Prevalence of laser vision correction in ophthalmologists who perform refractive surgery

Prevalence of laser vision correction in ophthalmologists who perform refractive surgery
05/09/2015Author: Vistaeyes

A recent study, published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery, examines the prevalence of laser corneal refractive surgery (laser vision correction [LVC]) among ophthalmologists who perform these procedures and to assess the willingness of these ophthalmologists to recommend LVC to immediate family members.

The study finds that refractive surgeons were approximately 4 times more likely to have LVC than the general population and that between 90.2% and 98.6% of refractive surgeons recommended LVC to their immediate family members.
