Optometrists Professional Support – How do I incorporate new research into my practice?

Optometrists Professional Support - How do I incorporate new research into my practice?

Optometrists' professional support -The AOP’s head of education, Dr Ian Beasley, explains how optometrists can approach new clinical research.

As a busy practitioner, you may find it difficult to dedicate time to regularly trawl through peer-reviewed research papers alongside competing clinical commitments.

However, if you wish to explore a niche topic of interest, then using the advanced search function on PubMed can be a good place to start. The site provides abstracts of research papers along with some full articles available as open access. Very useful for the Optometrists among you.

While many articles require payment or a subscription to view the full content, if you are a member of the College of Optometrists you can request an ‘OpenAthens’ account, which will make certain publications accessible. Using the search function on Google Scholar offers an alternative to PubMed.

Utilising research

Reading short abstracts of full research papers may not always deliver the user-friendly experience you are looking for. Another option is regularly reading continuing professional development (CPD) content in professional journals, such as Optometry Today, which can offer a more easily digestible approach, providing you with a broad understanding of the latest evidence base and, more importantly, relaying how these findings can translate into clinical practice.
