Purpose: This study aimed to analyze optometrists` occupation-related information provided by TV dramas to provide the foundation for appropriate optometrist occupation-related information to viewers.
Methods: Dramas have been selected in which an optometrist character appeared and a broadcasted series after the amendment of the optometrist`s license scopes. Two TV dramas were selected, namely ¡°When the Camellia Blooms¡± (2019) and ¡°Band of Sisters¡± (2017). The data were collected from the TV drama scripts through VOD (video on demand) and analyzed using the content analysis method.
Results: The TV dramas ¡°When the Camellia Blooms¡± and ¡°Band of Sisters¡± have identified problems in optometrists` educational background and licensing. ¡°When the Camellia Blooms¡± satirized the optometrist character as an inferior occupation to that of a lawyer and in ¡°Band of Sisters¡± the inappropriate terms were used more than the standard terms. The number of terms used is as follows: the standard term ¡°optic shop¡± totals three times, but the inappropriate term ¡°eyeglass shop¡± totals seven times. In addition, the standard term ¡°chief of a shop¡± totals zero times, but the inappropriate term ¡°¡®branch manager of a shop¡± totals 10 times.
Conclusions: Optometrists` occupation-related information in TV dramas was analyzed to examine the public recognition and cultivation effect. Both TV dramas describe the optometrist as a nonprofessional who does not have a bachelor`s degree and an optometrist`s license. The TV drama viewers not only accept the inappropriate optometrist occupation-related information but can also produce new content based on these TV dramas. Therefore, TV dramas should be encouraged to broadcast the correct optometrist occupation-related information.
