中文摘要 | 臺灣眼鏡族眾,誰來為這近半人口的消費者驗光、配鏡?雖然眼鏡行林立,但素質不齊,經常有驗光不對,配鏡不適的現象發生。今日有多少副眼鏡是經由「合格」的視光人員來服務?在有限的眼科醫師,以及分工日趨精細,服務水準要求更高的社會形態下,乃提出順應歐、美時勢潮流,在大學提供視光學教育培養驗光師的意見。由於驗光學系的設立,對許多利益團體、全民大眾的視力保健、以及莘莘學子的求學與出路,均有莫大關係,亟需進行一次公正客觀,且可以提供衛生署與教育部作決策參考的評估性研究,遂向衛生署提出本研究計劃。 本研究在多次拜訪與座談方式下,與多位眼科醫師、眼鏡業者、學者及視光師交換意見,另外並從大量的問卷中,得知眼科醫師、眼鏡從業人員、與一般大眾對於視光教育與驗光配鏡的看法。從問卷分析,85的民眾,86的眼鏡業,甚至64的眼科醫師,都贊成視光學教育的提昇,在大學之醫學院設立新系,或暫時在公衛系下設一組。在驗光師或視光師正式為教育部認同准予招生前,為提昇參差不齊的眼鏡店素質,擬從在職非學分制推廣教育由公衛系協調辦理開始。 |
英文摘要 | Taiwan has high prevalence of myopia. For example, more than 80 of the high school graduates are nearsighted. Together with farsightedness and astigmatism, a rough estimate that more than half of the 20 million population in Taiwan need visual auxiliary-glasses or contact lens. Besides around 800 ophthamologists, there are more than 3,300 guild registered glasses stores providing eye wear services. Unfortunately, unfitness complains are often heard. The problem stems from the fact that we don't have adequate optometric training program in our education system. In a well organized medical society, vision care is carried out by three professionals, i.e. opthamologist, optometrist, and optician. An optometrist prescribes, fits, and supplies eyeglasses and contact lenses. Becaues of the primary vision care service, an optometrist refers suspicious eye ailment patients to an ophthamologist. In Northern America, there are 18 institutes providing optometry study, whereas, non in Taiwan. To be justice for both ophthamologists and optical association, an unbiased research of this project, "Evaluate the establishment of college level optometric education in Taiwan" was carried out. By means of personal visits, experts forum, and questionnaires (opthamologist, 150; optical association, 519; general public, 1,421), the idea of optometric education is favored. Even the ophthamologists, as high as 64, favor this proposal. In realizing the current situation, most of the responses anticipate the department (or school) of public health in medical institute can coordinate this job by providing in service training course for the optical association members. |
