Brief summary: Adenovirus conjunctivitis is an epidemic disease registered as a common occupational disease for ophthalmologists and orthoptists. It can leave corneal sequelae even several years after infection.

The primary aim of the study is to investigate the prevalence of these sequelae in the at-risk population of ophthalmologists and orthoptist.

Secondary aim are to describe administrative procedures (occupational disease declaration and sick leave),infections characteristics; and risk factors.

Detailed description: Adenovirus conjunctivitis is an epidemic disease registered as a common occupational disease for ophthalmologists and orthoptists. It can leave corneal sequelae even several years after infection.

The investigation tream create a nationwide anonymous retrospective questionnaire using the secure internet application REDCap® to build and manage the questionnaire addressed to ophtalmologists (interns, graduates and retirees) and orthoptists.

Investigator collect several characteristics such as general characteristics (sex, age range, profession), administrative procedure declaration (occupational disease declaration, sick leave, cessation of surgery); infection characteristics (bilaterality, season, anteriority, sequels, current therapy, professional discomfort), risk factor (refractive surgery history, wearing of eyeglasses or contact lenses, smoking, or corticosteroid therapy).

Secondary aim are to describe administrative procedures (occupational disease declaration and sick leave), infections characteristics; and risk factors such as a refractive surgery history, the wearing of eyeglasses or contact lenses, smoking, or corticosteroid therapy.
