Findings: Around 633 ophthalmologists working in 47 academic eye hospitals from 16 states of India were included in the study. The results revealed that majority of the ophthalmologists were able to find the information within a few hours and there doesn’t any association with ophthalmologists’ individual and institutional characteristics.
