This course deals with governmental and social organization of health and vision care and the optometric role within the evolving system. Aspects of the epidemiology of vision anomalies are examined with the view toward application of such knowledge to levels of prevention. The course will also explore the special problems in vision care, with emphasis on their management, that arise in industry, in the case of the mentally retarded and in the case of the pediatric and geriatric elements of the population.
