摘要

The healthcare system is an important source of global greenhouse gas emissions. This particularly concerns ophthalmology which has a high volume of operations during which an enormous amount of waste is produced. The aim of this survey carried out by the Primary Physician Committee was to compare the hospital processes of various departments with respect to sustainability and to estimate the amount of waste generated during surgical activities. For this purpose an anonymous written questionnaire was distributed among the various ophthalmology departments. Participation was voluntary. Finally, the collected data were systematically analyzed. The questionnaire contained 37 questions focussing on 4 areas: 1) hospital processes, quality management and organization, 2) intravitreal injections (IVOM), 3) cataract surgery and 4) surgery of the posterior eye segment. The results of the survey showed a substantial savings potential in all areas, which led to the conclusion that increases in efficiency and optimization are possible.
