An initial screening question on prior experience with ISBCS directed the rest of the survey. Questions explored ophthalmologists' current ISBCS practice patterns and the importance of factors affecting their willingness to perform ISBCS. Results were descriptively analysed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results collated 2\u2009months upon survey dissemination saw a total of 58 respondents from 235 eligible members (24.7% response rate). Of these, 16 (27.6%) were currently performing ISBCS, 37 (63.8%) had never performed, and 5 (8.6%) had stopped performing. In considering ISBCS, patient convenience (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911, 68.8%) and reduced hospital visits (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098, 50.0%) were the most important factors nominated. The most important barriers to performing ISBCS were medico\u2010legal issues (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200931, 83.8%) and risk of endophthalmitis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200927, 73.0%), followed by perceived lack of evidence for its effectiveness (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200919, 51.4%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is one of the first studies evaluating ophthalmologists' sentiments towards performing ISBCS in an Asian country.
