Abstract
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to determine the actual educational condition of contact lenses in Korean ophthalmology residency training hospitals. METHODS: A questionnaire survey about the educational condition of contact lenses was performed twice between October 2000 and September 2002 in 75 Korean ophthalmology residency training hospitals. In the second examination, the same primary questionnaire was administered to confirm the improvement of educational condition. RESULTS: Nine percent of the subjects were satisfied with the educational condition of contact lenses in the first examination and 12% in the second examination. Most residents were not satisfied because of lack of manpower and interest. The ratio of hospitals conducting the contact lens education program increased from 12% in the first examination to 45% in the second examination. Most of the residents agreed to alter the contact lenses fitting into obligatory provision during the residency training period; 80% in the first examination and 75% in the second examination. CONCLUSIONS: Most residents agreed with the necessity of contact lens education, but the program was not performed well. Thus, the interest and education of the Korea ophthalmologic society and each ophthalmology residency training hospital will be required to educate the information about contact lenses and their correct wearing.
