    Optometrists are shifting from self-employment to salaried positions, particularly those newer to practice. This trend indicates evolving employment patterns within the optometric profession.

    Area of Science:

    • Optometry
    • Healthcare Workforce Analysis
    • Professional Demographics

    Background:

    • The Optometric Manpower Resources Project has conducted national censuses of licensed optometrists since 1971.
    • Previous reports detailed regional distribution and optometrist-to-population ratios.
    • This study focuses on employment forms, practice duration, and practice size.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the principal forms of employment among active optometrists in the United States.
    • To examine the distribution of optometrists based on years in practice.
    • To determine the relationship between practice duration and practice size.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the 1973 national census of licensed optometric manpower.
    • Analyzed employment status, categorizing optometrists by self-employment and various salaried positions.

  • Examined practice duration and estimated practice size based on patient numbers.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in self-employment, from 88% in 1968 to 77% in 1973, was observed.
    • An increase in varied forms of salaried employment was noted, especially among optometrists with less than ten years of experience.
    • Practice size peaked between 15 and 24 years of practice, with a median of approximately 5,400 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The optometric profession is experiencing a notable shift in employment trends.
    • Salaried positions are becoming more prevalent, particularly for early-career optometrists.
    • Practice maturity correlates with practice size, peaking in mid-career optometrists.
