Currently, two thirds of medical students are female. However, women continue to be clearly underrepresented in leading medical positions, which is also true for ophthalmology. The scientific output of female ophthalmologists is increasing, more pronounced as first authors than last, but remains below that of male colleagues. However, a significant gender bias has been shown in the grant application processes. There are significantly more male surgeons in vitreoretinal, refractive, and corneal surgery. Concerning surgical training, it has been shown that female ophthalmologists operate less during their residency, especially in cataract surgery. Also among surgeons do women continue to shoulder the main responsibility for family and household, despite the negative consequences for their career. This publication presents an overview of the present career situation for women in ophthalmology and discusses possible measures to achieve gender equality, such as the establishment of mentoring programs and networks.
目前，三分之二的医科学生为女性。然而，在医学领域的领导职位中，女性的代表性仍然明显不足，眼科领域亦是如此。女性眼科医生的科研产出正在增加，作为第一作者比作为最后作者更为显著，但仍低于男性同行。然而，在科研基金申请过程中存在明显的性别偏见。在玻璃体视网膜、屈光和角膜手术领域，男性外科医生明显更多。关于外科培训，研究表明女性眼科医生在住院医师期间的手术操作较少，尤其是在白内障手术方面。而且在外科医生中，尽管对其职业发展有负面影响，但女性仍然承担着家庭和家务的主要责任。本出版物概述了目前眼科领域女性的职业状况，并讨论了实现性别平等的可能措施，如建立指导计划和网络。
