Many general optometry and ophthalmology texts include chapters on epidemiology, ophthalmic research, environmental vision, legal aspects of ophthalmic care, and structures of health care systems related to eye care.

Original research papers on public health and environmental optometry are usually published in the major medical (JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet), optometric (Optometry, Optometry and Vision Science), Ophthalmologic (Archives of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, American Journal of Ophthalmology, British Journal of Ophthalmology), and public health journals (American Journal of Public Health) and many of these journals have appropriate material for the applicant’s knowledge base.
