Practice Patterns of Pediatric Ophthalmologists During the COVID-19 Pandemic
PURPOSE: To report the use of protective personal equipment (PPE) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
METHODS: A 12-question multiple-choice survey was posted on a discussion board used by members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). Respondents provided information about their experience, PPE use, office equipment, and approach to care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESULTS: One hundred twenty-eight pediatric ophthalmologists completed the survey. Eighty-seven (68.0%) identified as in private practice, whereas 41 (32.0%) identified as in an academic setting. Sixty-nine pediatric ophthalmologists (53.9%) reported routinely using N95 respirators, 72 (56.3%) reported wearing medical scrubs, 41 (32.0%) reported using disposable gloves, 33 (25.7%) reported wearing goggles, and 12 (9.4%) reported using face shields during office examinations. One hundred twenty-one pediatric ophthalmologists (94.5%) reported having slit lamps with plastic shields and 52 (40.6%) reported having phoropters with plastic shields. Ninety-nine (77.3%) responded that they would see a patient older than 2 years who refused to wear a mask for a nonemergency visit.
CONCLUSIONS: Practice patterns of pediatric ophthalmologists have varied during the COVID-19 pandemic. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2022;59(3):145-150.].
