Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study is to determine the public\'s perception of the scope of practice for oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeons (OFPRS).
UNASSIGNED: A 49-question survey was distributed by QualtricsⓇ to a panel similar to the US demographic composition. Responses collected underwent bivariate statistical analysis.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 530 responses were obtained, with most respondents being white, female, over the age of 35, from the Midwest, and with at least a college education or above. Most respondents did not think ophthalmologists or optometrists were surgeons, and only 158 people (29.8%) knew the primary specialty of OFPRS was ophthalmology. Board certification was preferred by 98.87% of respondents, and 95.28% preferred ASOPRS-trained OFPRS.
UNASSIGNED: Our study highlights the gap in knowledge about OFPRS as a field, the qualifications and training required, and the scope of practice. Notably, even for OFPRS-specific procedures, PRS remained the leading subspecialist chosen for interventions such as orbital decompression (58.5% vs. 71.5%), orbital reconstruction (57.9% vs. 74.2%), enucleation/evisceration (48.1% vs. 53.4%), optic nerve-related surgery (39.8% vs. 43.4%), orbital cancer resection (42.8% vs. 46.8%), and tear duct surgery (41.9% vs. 52.5%). Additionally, most respondents did not feel that facial fillers, laser skin resurfacing, eyelid cancer removal, or cataract surgery were within the OFPRS scope of practice.

摘要：
■这项研究的目的是确定公众对眼面部整形和重建外科医生（OFPRS）的实践范围的看法。
■Qualtrics®将49个问题的调查分发给一个类似于美国人口组成的小组。收集的反应进行了双变量统计分析。
■共获得530个答复，大多数受访者是白人，女性,35岁以上，来自中西部，至少有大专以上学历.大多数受访者认为眼科医生或验光师不是外科医生，只有158人（29.8％）知道OFPRS的主要专业是眼科。98.87%的受访者更喜欢董事会认证，95.28%的人更喜欢ASOPRS训练的OFPRS。
■我们的研究强调了OFPRS作为一个领域的知识差距，所需的资格和培训，以及实践的范围。值得注意的是,即使对于OFPRS特定的程序，PRS仍然是选择进行眼眶减压等干预措施的领先子专家(58.5%vs.71.5%），眼眶重建（57.9%vs.74.2%)，摘除/摘除内脏(48.1%vs.53.4%），视神经相关手术（39.8%vs.43.4%），眼眶癌切除术(42.8%vs.46.8%），和泪管手术(41.9%vs.52.5%）。此外,大多数受访者没有感觉到面部填充物，激光换肤,去除眼睑癌，或白内障手术在OFPRS实践范围内。
