2024 Annual US Cataract Surgeon Survey Report, May, 2024

Our approach includes trend analysis based on comparisons with information gathered in previous years. This report explores many topics and includes: 

• Revenue sources 
• Referral sources 
• Cataract surgery locations 
• Ocular location of incision 
• Procedure volume 
• US IOL market share by model and category 
• New technology IOLs 
• Premium IOL use and plans 
• Treatment of astigmatism 
• IOL market share by ASC type 
• Use of micro-incision techniques 
• US phaco machine market share 
• Phaco purchasing plans 
• Cross-merchandising 
• Market share for various single-use products 
• Procedure pack use 
• Plans for FLACS 
• Plans for MIGS 
• Marketing, patient fees, and pricing options 
• Dry eye in cataract patients 
• Practice plans for next 12 months 

This report includes responses to opinion questions, such as plans to purchase new equipment or preferred IOL features. All results are calculated based on respondent count; because not all questions are applicable to all providers, the respondent count (n), may vary throughout the survey. Quantitative market data, such as types of IOL implanted, phaco machines used, and viscoelastics used, were weighted by volume to reflect actual market size. We had a disproportionate share of surveys from high-volume surgeons with their own surgery centers. In order to reduce this bias, we stratified and weighted surveys by procedure volume and location of surgery to reflect known market dynamics. 

The mix of surgeons responding to this survey was representative of the market as a whole, including a widespread geographical distribution, a variety of practice sizes, and predictable distribution of procedures by surgical location. 

Questions included in the survey were developed by Market Scope and companies that sponsor the survey.
