Three hundred and sixty-nine postal questionnaires related to the content and teaching of the undergraduate medical course were sent to Queensland city and provincial ophthalmologists, general practitioners, physicians and surgeons. The return rate was 53%. The views of the four groups were similar in most respects. The majority of respondents thought that ophthalmology should be taught as a separate course. They stated visits to operating theatre and eye casualty unit should be included in the course. Ophthalmologists and general practitioners stated the course should be longer, physicians thought it should remain the same length and surgeons felt less time should be dedicated to the teaching of ophthalmology. Topic areas regarded as essential were the acute care areas: trauma; glaucoma; infection; use of an ophthalmoscope; acute visual loss; and red eye. Squint was also regarded as an essential area by ophthalmologists.
369份与本科医学课程内容和教学相关的邮政调查问卷被寄给了昆士兰市和省的眼科医生、全科医生、内科医生和外科医生。回复率为53%。这四个群体的观点在大多数方面是相似的。大多数受访者认为眼科应该作为一门单独的课程来教授。他们表示课程应该包括参观手术室和眼科急诊室。眼科医生和全科医生表示课程应该更长，内科医生认为课程长度应保持不变，而外科医生觉得应该减少用于眼科教学的时间。被视为必不可少的主题领域是急性护理领域：创伤；青光眼；感染；检眼镜的使用；急性视力丧失；以及红眼。斜视也被眼科医生视为一个必不可少的领域。
