Multivariable regression models were performed to evaluate factors associated with surgeons currently performing ISBICLS. The variables in the univariate logistic regression model (eTable 2) with P-value < 0.05 were included as covariables in the multivariate logistic models. For the association of clinical settings with the outcome, we adjusted for demographic characteristics (job title, departments, medical institution type, and medical institution level). For the association of surgeon experience or skills with ICL surgery, we adjusted additionally when to start ICL surgery, the total surgical volume, the time of one-eye ICL surgery, the preoperative measurement devices, and ICL surgery management type, except for the percentage of modifying the second eye ICL selection (due to potential mediation). Finally, we made a fully adjusted logistic regression model
