What % do cataracts make up, in terms of procedures and preop/postop clinic visits?

I'm sure it varies by subspecialty and practice, but am curious in general. Would this vary significantly PP vs academia?

Im General here. Probably 80-90% refractive (mainly cataract, some lasik, rare ICL), 10-20% glaucoma (often done with cataract), 0% cornea, 0% retina. Post ops are probably 30-50% of clinic volume day after surgery, closer to 10-20% other days. Pre-op visits are done by the PA and surgery counselor.
