Abstract：
:Ophthalmologists continue to share in the professional liability claims that plague the medical profession. Data have been extrapolated from the April 1987 publication of the United States General Accounting Office (GAO) entitled, "Medical Malpractice Characteristics of Claims Closed in 1984." This document presents information pertaining to the comparative incidence of professional liability claims of ophthalmologists with other specialties.
