Economic impact on pediatric ophthalmologists in the time of COVID-19	2020-07-27		.txt	text/plain	3256	176	51	For private practices (solo, multispecialty, and pediatric only), 43% of physicians (122/282) applied for the EIDL, and 40% received the loan. In contrast, for private practices, with 90% responding to the question, 50% (157/315) reported a reduction of >51% in staff through furlough or dismissal; 36% (112/315) reduced staff by >76 %. Within the private practice subgroups, each reported similar rates of respondents who will limit Medicaid patients. Disproportionate staff reduction by multispecialty groups may result from the AAO recommendation to cease all nonemergent care in contrast to pediatric ophthalmology practices, which may have been more influenced by the AAP's directive to remain available for patients. 9 This survey revealed that a large number (nearly 90%) of pediatric ophthalmologists were either furloughed or had their salary reduced, and approximately 10% of those in private practice filed for unemployment. Although all sectors of pediatric ophthalmology were affected by the reduction in patient volume, at the 1-month juncture, the effect on private practices was greatest.	./cache/cord-324722-hcil0kj3.txt	./txt/cord-324722-hcil0kj3.txt
