DUFFEY/LEAMING ISRS SUMMARY ä ä Sixth ONLINE ISRS SURVEY was a success with 15% response rate. ä ä VisX (50%) losing further marketshare to Wavelight (44%). ä ä Still about 35% penetration of modern refractive surgery amongst refractive surgeons…. 3-4 X the general population. Family Index rates also continue to be high.

DUFFEY/LEAMING ISRS SUMMARY ä ä 23% of respondents are OK with bilateral P-IOL and 7% with bilateral RLE at the same surgical setting (stable). ä ä Multifocal IOL (14%) over accommodative IOL (6%) as a preferred lens-based presbyopia option when used for RLE. ä ä Femtosecond LASIK flaps dominate and are stable at 71%.

DUFFEY/LEAMING ISRS SUMMARY ä ä Thinner flaps dominate: 100 micron or less flaps are favored by 68% of surgeons (up from 12% in ‘04). ä ä Preferred RSB thickness is stable: 34% think 250 microns is adequate, but 65% recommend 275 microns or more. ä ä New post-LASIK ectasia cases show a slight rise in rate.

2014 ISRS SUMMARY ä ä Pentacam (42%) and Z-H (38%) about equal and Orbscan II dropped off to 28%. ä ä LVC Volume up over last two surveys in 2012 and ä ä Ratio of Surface Ablation / Total LVC stable near 22% over past five years. DUFFEY/LEAMING 2014

2014 ISRS SUMMARY ä ä During cataract surgery 68% of surgeons will offer to correct astigmatism if it is 0.75 D or more; 97% if 1.25 D or more. ä ä LRI/AK preferred (91%) if K astigmatism <1.0D ä ä Toric IOL preferred (77%) if K astigmatism > 1.12D ä ä CXL offered by 23% of ISRS members surveyed in the U.S. (not FDA-approved). DUFFEY/LEAMING 2014

2014 ISRS FINAL SUMMARY ä ä FemtoSecond Laser-assisted Refractive Cataract Surgery on the rise. ä ä FS, Toric and PresbyIOL are not high volume refractive surgeries yet like LASIK in its heyday, but moving forward. ä ä Multifocals trump Accomodative IOLs, but neither high penetration. ä ä More astigmatism management (even low astig.) in cataract surgery. ä ä Healthy LVC and Premium IOL Family Indices amongst refractive surgeons themselves and their families. ä ä Post-LVC ectasia on a slight rise. DUFFEY/LEAMING 2014

Additional Data at ä ä Types and volumes of refractive surgeries currently being performed. ä ä Post-operative use of antibiotics, steroids, and NSAIDs. ä ä Surgical venues for various procedures…and more. DUFFEY/LEAMING 2014
