Synopsis

This text was intended to discuss the ethical issues that arise in the clinical practice of optometry and to give guidance to optometrists dealing with ethical issues in practice. It does the former very well but falls somewhat short in the latter. The issues discussed include ethical decision making in practice, the doctor-patient relationship, shared responsibilities in patient care, relationships with other professionals, screening practices, third party care and payment, new technology and equipment, and dealing with specialty populations such as children, the elderly, the institutionalized patient, the indigent patient, the partially sighted patient and multicultural patients.
