A survey was conducted to examine attitudes that affect women in optometry. Most respondents felt that women have greater difficulty than men entering private practice. On the other hand, the majority felt that female optometrists do not find it more difficult to be employed by other ODs, MDs, or to work in corporate settings, HMOs/health institutions, or academic settings. Examining the results of the survey can help establish programs of professional development that will enable women to practice in the environments that they find most suitable. In addition, an open and honest discussion of these issues can raise the sensitivity of the optometric community to these issues.
开展了一项调查，以研究影响验光行业女性的态度。大多数受访者认为，女性进入私人执业领域比男性面临更大困难。另一方面，大多数人认为女性验光师受雇于其他验光师、医生，或在企业环境、健康维护组织/卫生机构或学术环境中工作时，并不会觉得更困难。审视调查结果有助于制定专业发展计划，使女性能够在她们认为最适合的环境中执业。此外，对这些问题进行公开坦诚的讨论可以提高验光行业对这些问题的敏感度。
