Abstract:
The changing demographics of our population dictate that in the future optometrists will care for increasing numbers of older patients. Significant numbers of these elders will reside in long-term care facilities. Optometry curricula have begun to respond to this need by training students currently enrolled in colleges of optometry to provide eye care in the nursing home setting.
