6 Young Eye Surgeons: Premium Technology Exposure Key Findings: 65% of young respondents believe toric IOL implants should begin during residency, yet 59% have implanted 5 or less. 51% of young eye surgeon respondents rated their current experience with presbyopia- correcting IOLs as somewhat or very inadequate. 51% of young ophthalmologist respondents have performed 5 or less LVC and 60% haven't performed any LACS. In residency, young eye surgeons experienced refractive surgical training largely in 2 categories: LASIK and surface ablation procedures. " For the Young Eye Surgeon audience in particular, better outcomes tend to come from the exposure and experiences with technologies, combined with developing and refining surgical skills. By identifying a number of opportunities for young ophthal- mologists and addressing them in a comprehensive way, ASCRS can help increase what these physicians can confidently offer their patients. " –Elizabeth Yeu, MD, chair, ASCRS Young Eye Surgeons Clinical Committee
