A sixth annual survey was carried out by mail in January 1998, to investigate the current trends in cataract and refractive surgery in Japan.
Questionnaires were sent to 816 ophthalmologist members of the Japanese Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Data received from 409 (50.1%) of the recipients were cross-analyzed and compared with those from the previous surveys.
In cataract surgery, there have been trends toward more surgical procedures performed by a surgeon, shorter period of hospitalization, and increased number of outpatient surgery. Ninety-two percent of respondents preferred phacoemulsification, 54% used the self-sealing wound-closure technique, and 19% used topical anesthesia for phacoemulsification. As for refractive surgery, surgeons remained rather conservative; with 28% and 7% of surgeons doing astigmatic keratotomy and refractive keratotomy, respectively. Photorefractive keratectomy, laser in situ keratomileusis, and phakic intraocular lens were judged to be useful refractive surgical procedures by 56.6%, 43.3%, and 25.1% of the respondents, respectively.
1998年1月通过邮件进行了第六次年度调查，以调查日本白内障和屈光手术的当前趋势。
向日本白内障和屈光手术学会的816名眼科医生会员发送了调查问卷。对409名（50.1%）受访者提供的数据进行了交叉分析，并与之前调查的数据进行了比较。
在白内障手术方面，出现了外科医生实施手术数量增加、住院时间缩短以及门诊手术数量增加的趋势。92%的受访者更喜欢超声乳化术，54%采用自闭式伤口闭合技术，19%在超声乳化术中使用表面麻醉。至于屈光手术，外科医生仍较为保守；分别有28%和7%的外科医生进行散光性角膜切开术和屈光性角膜切开术。分别有56.6%、43.3%和25.1%的受访者认为准分子激光角膜切削术、准分子原位角膜磨镶术和有晶状体眼人工晶状体是有用的屈光手术方法。
