SummaryThe 1995 RAND studyEstimating Eye Care and Workforce Requirementsanalyzes the United States' supply, demand, and need for eyecare providers. Portions of the RAND study were prepared along traditional ophthalmic specialty lines. This article extracts and further analyzes those portions of the study that are of interest to active subspecialty oculoplastic surgeons. The RAND study results indicate a significant current and very probable future oversupply of oculoplastics workforce personnel. This over-supply is further exacerbated when a RAND study underestimate of the number of new fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons is corrected.
