A survey regarding ophthalmologists\u2019 personal and professional use of social media was distributed online through a university alumni listserv. Data collection occurred over 4\u2009weeks from January to February 2020. In total, 808 ophthalmologists opened the survey email, and 160 responded (19.8%). Of 160 respondents, 115 (71.9%) participated in social media for personal use. Professional use of social media was noted by 63 (39.4%) respondents. Age &gt;40\u2009years old correlated with less personal ( X\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20095.06, p\u2009=\u20090.025) but not professional use ( p\u2009=\u20090.065). Private practice was associated with more use of social media professionally compared to those in an academic or Veteran\u2019s Affairs hospital ( X\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20096.58, p\u2009=\u20090.037). A majority of respondents (58.7%) were neutral regarding the effect of social media on their practice. The present survey showed that nearly 40% of respondents are involved in social media in a professional context. Private practice correlated with increased use of social media professionally, but providers were most commonly neutral regarding the impact of social media on their practice. This finding suggests further avenues of research including how providers using social media professionally are defining and assessing successful use.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1460458220954610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T08:01:31Z","timestamp":1600416091000},"page":"2967-2975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Social media in ophthalmology: An analysis of use in the professional sphere"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6114-0996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hasenin","family":"Al-khersan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas A","family":"Lazzarini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth C","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6681-6104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nimesh A","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ann Q","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5818-0073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea A","family":"Tooley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manhattan Eye Ear Throat Hospital, Northwell University, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendy W","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Alfonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jayanth","family":"Sridhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1460458220954610","unstructured":"Clement J.
