Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Incorporation of the rapid advances in ophthalmologic surgical and diagnostic techniques inherent in the field poses a challenge to residency training programs. This study investigates exposure to new technologies during residency and perception of its impact on practice patterns.
METHODS: Ophthalmology residents at various training levels and practicing ophthalmologists who had completed their training were invited to participate in a survey study assessing exposure to various technologies in residency and in practice. Data collection occurred from December 2022 to June 2023. Descriptive statistics were performed.
RESULTS: The study received 132 unique responses, including 63 ophthalmology residents and 69 practicing ophthalmologists. 65.2% (n = 45) of practicing ophthalmologists and 47.6% (n = 30) of current residents reported discussion/training on newly developed products on the market (e.g. premium IOLS, MIGS), was \"minimally discussed but not emphasized\" or \"not discussed at all\" in residency. 55.1% (n = 38) of practicing ophthalmologists reported that exposure to new technologies during residency did influence types of technologies employed during practice. The majority resident physicians reported enjoying being trained on newer technology and feeling more prepared for future changes in the field (95.2%, n = 60) and felt that having industry partnerships in residency enhances education and training (90.5%, n = 57).
CONCLUSIONS: Considering how to maximize exposure to newer technologies/devices during residency training is important, and may contribute to training more confident, adaptable surgeons, who are more likely to critically consider new technologies and adopt promising ones into their future clinical practice.

摘要：
背景：该领域固有的眼科外科和诊断技术的快速发展对住院医师培训计划提出了挑战。这项研究调查了在居住期间对新技术的接触以及对其对实践模式的影响的看法。
方法：参加各种培训水平的眼科住院医师和完成培训的执业眼科医生被邀请参加一项调查研究，评估在住院医师和实践中接触各种技术的情况。数据收集发生在2022年12月至2023年6月。进行描述性统计。
结果：该研究收到了132个独特的响应，包括63名眼科住院医师和69名执业眼科医生。65.2％（n=45）的执业眼科医生和47.6％（n=30）的当前居民报告了对市场上新开发产品的讨论/培训（例如高级IOLS，MIGS),在住院医师中被“最低限度地讨论但没有强调”或“根本没有讨论”。55.1％（n=38）的执业眼科医生报告说，在住院期间接触新技术确实会影响实践中使用的技术类型。大多数住院医师表示喜欢接受新技术的培训，并为该领域的未来变化做好了更充分的准备（95.2％，n=60)，并认为在住院医师方面建立行业合作伙伴关系可以增强教育和培训(90.5%，n=57）。
结论：考虑如何在住院医师培训期间最大限度地接触新技术/设备是重要的，并可能有助于训练更自信，适应性强的外科医生，他们更有可能批判性地考虑新技术，并在未来的临床实践中采用有前途的技术。
