An analysis of the papers presented at the annual meetings of the American Academy of Optometry for the last twelve years.

The papers read at the annual meetings of the American Academy of Optometry by representatives from the schools of optometry for the last 12 years were analyzed. We tabulated the papers presented in the Sections and in the General Program. Topics were subdivided into binocular vision, ocular health, contact lenses, optics and refraction, etc. Some schools maintained a consistent level over the years whereas others varied in the number of papers read at the Academy meetings. The emphasis of some schools of optometry on certain fields of optometry became apparent.
