Abstract:

Evidence-based medicine has been spread in the field of Ophthalmology for many years and is approved by more and more ophthalmologists. In different specialties of Ophthalmology, evidence-based medicine was understood and practiced in different ways. Compared with other specialties in Ophthalmology which have a characteristic of “seeing is believing”, Optometry is often “out of sight, out of touch” due to the involvement of nonrepresentational and subjective interdisciplines such as optics, psychophysics and bioengineering. Optometry plays a role in the beginning and end of treating all kinds of ocular diseases. Thus, Optometry is considered as starting point, as well as terminal point, of Ophthalmology. The graduated students in Optometry should be trained in different modes. It is of importance for training graduated students who know well both basic knowledge of Ophthalmology and characteristics of Optometry by combining evidence-based medicine with learning and practicing of Optometry.
