A fifth annual survey was carried out by mail in February 1997 to investigate the current trends in cataract and refractive surgery in Japan. A questionnaire was sent to 867 ophthalmologist members of the Japanese Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Data received from 440 (50.7%) of the recipients were cross-analyzed and compared with those from the previous surveys. For 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 percent of respondents preferred phacoemulsification, 42% employed the self-sealing wound closure technique, and 26% used topical anesthesia for phacoemulsification. As for refractive surgery, surgeons remained rather conservative, with 26% and 6% of surgeons doing astigmatic keratotomy and refractive keratotomy, respectively.
1997年2月通过邮件进行了第五次年度调查，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867名眼科医生会员发送了问卷。对440名（50.7%）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的手术程序增多、住院时间缩短以及门诊手术数量增加的趋势。90%的受访者倾向于超声乳化术，42%采用自闭式伤口闭合技术，26%在超声乳化术中使用表面麻醉。至于屈光手术，外科医生仍然较为保守，分别有26%和6%的外科医生进行散光角膜切开术和屈光性角膜切开术。
