The delivery of health care services in America today utilizes a variety of approaches based on many economic, political and social factors. The current health care system is coming under significant review and criticism. Many options are being considered and recommended. This paper addresses possible changes in the delivery of eye care, specifically the relationship between the professions of optometry and ophthalmology, that may be needed in the future.
There are no manpower studies to give hard statistics of the number of practitioners needed now and in the future. We will still be increasing the number of optometrists in the country by maintaining the same course we are on now, and show no need for any new optometric schools or colleges. Yet, the present schools and colleges of optometry may need to expand or contract their entering class size as educational reform changes optometric education.
