8 Managing the Diabetic Cataract Patient The 2014 ASCRS Clinical Survey set out to determine the educational needs for anterior segment surgeons pertaining to managing the diabetic cataract patient. The data demonstrates a high patient base among members, as well as an educational gap on treatments. In addition to intravitreal injections, 9.4% of patients are simultaneously actively managed for AMD, and 8.1% of patients are simultaneously actively managed for DME.However, 35.8% of ASCRS members do not believe they have an in-depth understanding of these therapies and their impact. Advanced Glaucoma Treatments ASCRS members see an average of 470 glaucoma pa- tients annually. U.S. physicians see more glaucoma pa- tients on average versus O-U.S. physicians. Overall, 53% of cataract patients are getting a PGA for long-term IOP management. Overall, ASCRS members reported that 8.6% of their cataract patients are also candidates for microincision glaucoma surgery (MIGS). While 16.2% of members currently offer MIGS, more than ΒΌ will be offering the procedure within 12 months.
