    British Columbia optometrists

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Optometry Practice Management
    • Public Health Policy

    Background:

    • A government task force in British Columbia investigated vision care delivery.
    • Current optometry practice patterns were examined to inform system development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a coordinated vision care system in British Columbia.
    • To understand optometrist practice patterns, including time allocation and community involvement.

    Main Methods:

    • A province-wide questionnaire survey of all optometrists.
    • Achieved an 84% response rate with representative regional distribution.

    Main Results:

    • Data collected on professional time allocation, use of assistants, community engagement, and satellite practices.

  • Findings were compared with other studies to infer workload and time efficiency.

    • Conclusions:

    • Political and other factors require rationalization for optimal optometrist expertise utilization.
    • Recommendations for a coordinated vision care system integrating optometrist expertise were made.
