To determine current trends in resident laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) training in the United States, a comprehensive survey was sent to the residency coordinator, chairman, or refractive surgery director of all 113 ophthalmology training programs in the U.S. accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The response rate was 64%. Of the respondents, 54% were from programs in which residents performed LASIK surgery, typically as third-year residents; residents in these programs performed a mean of 4 LASIK surgeries (range 1 to 10 surgeries) during residency. The Visx Star was the most commonly used excimer laser platform and the Hansatome the most commonly used microkeratome. Most programs had 1 attending physician teaching the residents refractive surgery, which was typically performed at the main residency facility. Most programs had significant discounted pricing (>50%) for resident-performed LASIK.
为了确定美国住院医师准分子原位角膜磨镶术（LASIK）培训的当前趋势，我们向美国医学研究生教育认证委员会认可的113个眼科培训项目的住院医师协调员、主任或屈光手术主任发送了一份全面的调查问卷。回复率为64%。在受访者中，54%来自住院医师进行LASIK手术的项目，通常是三年级住院医师；这些项目的住院医师在住院期间平均进行4例LASIK手术（范围为1至10例手术）。威视之星是最常用的准分子激光平台，汉斯刀是最常用的微型角膜刀。大多数项目有1名主治医师教授住院医师屈光手术，手术通常在主要住院设施进行。大多数项目对住院医师进行的LASIK手术有大幅折扣定价（>50%）。
