Patient autonomy in optometry clinics is inconsistently applied, with some institutions hesitant about informed consent. Reviewing consent forms offers limited insight into ethical practices and education within these clinics.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Optometry Education

Background:

  • Modern bioethics emphasizes patient autonomy and informed consent.
  • Informed consent is a key process for patient decision-making in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the understanding and application of patient autonomy in optometry teaching institutions.
  • To investigate institutional comfort levels with informed consent procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted among schools and colleges of optometry.
  • The survey focused on practices related to patient autonomy and informed consent.

Main Results:

  • Some optometry institutions expressed discomfort with informed consent processes.
  • Research areas and clinics for contact lenses and ocular disease demonstrated higher compliance.
Keywords:

Conclusions:

  • Consent forms have minimal value in assessing ethical processes and clinical education.
  • Further evaluation methods may be needed to gauge the effectiveness of bioethical training in optometry.
