This essay relates the historic process that led to the development of the Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) as an established component of ophthalmic training in the U.S.A. Begun in the early 1960s as an evaluative examination for residents at the University of Florida, the first national OKAP examination took place in May 1968, with over 85% of all eye training programs participating. It was later incorporated into the Continuing Education program of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, where it prospered. Beginning January 1980 the OKAP was combined with American Board of Ophthalmology exam, thus establishing a single, unified national exam.
本文讲述了导致眼科知识评估计划（OKAP）发展的历史进程，该计划已成为美国眼科培训的既定组成部分。20世纪60年代初，OKAP作为佛罗里达大学住院医师的评估考试开始实施，1968年5月举行了首次全国性OKAP考试，超过85%的眼科培训项目参加了此次考试。后来，它被纳入美国眼耳鼻喉科协会的继续教育项目，并在那里蓬勃发展。从1980年1月起，OKAP与美国眼科委员会考试合并，从而建立了一个单一的、统一的全国性考试。
