Purpose: Physicians
frequently receive new information on the latest research from many different
forms of media. It is interesting to see how they integrate this data and
incorporate it into their own practices. This report focuses on physician
opinions for the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy and diabetic
macular edema, as well as practice patterns associated with these treatments.
Methods: Retina
specialists were surveyed during a lecture at the 2016 Ocular Imaging
Conference in Vail, Colorado. Case studies were presented with questions
integrated throughout the lecture that were designed to understand how
physicians individually handle both specific cases and their specific treatment
algorithms. When presented with multiple-choice questions, the audience texted
their answers in to the Poll Everywhere application. Responses appeared on the
screen in real time and were recorded for later use.
Results: The mean number
of responses submitted per question was 30.15. Physicians answered 13 questions
about management issues of central serous chorioretinopathy and diabetic
macular edema, with some questions resulting in markedly varying answers.
Conclusion: The concept of
using an text based polling app is a low cost, easy to use, efficient way to
obtain greater audience input in case presentation conferences.
