Abstract

Purpose: The Ocular Surface Workshop (OSW) is a sub-specialty meeting focussed on the management of complex ocular surface disorders. This survey aimed to assess the impact of the workshop on the knowledge and practice of attendees over a decade.

Methods: An online survey was circulated to attendees of past editions of the OSW in February 2025. Survey results were compiled and presented using descriptive statistics, charts and tables.

Results: Sixty-seven responses were received within the survey period. Respondents had a median age of 42 years, and included a significant proportion of trainees and young clinicians. Most respondents (64%) attended the workshop multiple times. Attendees improved their knowledge about various complex ocular surface conditions, which positively impacted their practice. Respondents also reported improvements in the availability of good quality care for ocular surface disorders in their practice location.

Conclusions: Attendees of the OSW reported significant improvements in their knowledge and impact on their practice after attending the workshop. The workshop serves as a model than can be emulated by other sub-specialty meetings to enhance clinician knowledge and improve access to high quality care for patients.

十多年来眼表疾病专题研讨会对与会者的知识和实践的影响。

目的：眼表研讨会（OSW）是一个专注于复杂眼表疾病管理的亚专业会议。这项调查旨在评估十年来研讨会对与会者的知识和实践的影响。方法：在2025年2月向历届OSW的与会者分发在线调查。调查结果是用描述性统计、图表和表格汇编和呈现的。结果：调查期间共收到67份回复。受访者的中位年龄为42岁，其中包括相当比例的实习生和年轻临床医生。大多数受访者（64%）多次参加研讨会。与会者提高了他们对各种复杂眼表条件的知识，这对他们的实践产生了积极的影响。受访者还报告说，在他们的实践地点，眼表疾病的高质量护理的可用性有所改善。结论：OSW的参与者报告说，参加研讨会后，他们的知识和对实践的影响有了显著的提高。该研讨会可以作为其他亚专科会议的典范，以提高临床医生的知识，并改善患者获得高质量护理的机会。
