An appropriate patient base for clinical optometric education.

The reasons for the need of an expanded patient base for adequate clinical instruction in the 4-year professional program are discussed. Optometric education must establish the "reasonable set" standard for patient size and diversity particularly in view of its expanded scope of professional responsibility.

A national optometric-student attitudinal survey.

This paper contains the results of a survey of 1549 optometry students who responded to a questionnaire that was sent to all optometry schools and colleges in the United States. The results reflect student attitudes and opinions about such issues as commercial optometry, malpractice suits, price advertising of glasses and professional services, and the cost of professional education. In addition, the survey results disclose the reasons students enter the profession, their anticipated modes of practice and their expected incomes. We believe that the issues encompassed in this survey will affect the future practice of optometry.
