The 2003 Refractive Surgery Survey by the U.S. members of the International Society of Refractive Surgery of the American Academy of Ophthalmology was completed in October 2003. The survey was mailed in mid-August to approximately 1,100 U.S. members of ISRS/AAO, and 135 responses were analyzed by October 15, representing 12.5% of the membership. This was the seventh year of refractive data collection, allowing an analysis of trends among U.S. surgeons over the previous years.
