Although 87 percent of practitioners say that they do not offer any on-site child care, the vast majority, 90 percent, do not have a written policy about bringing children into the office, according to a recent Pop Up Poll conducted by Women in Optometry. In fact, more than 62 percent of respondents said that they have on occasion or in an emergency brought their own child or children into the office. Five percent say they do so frequently and 5 percent of respondents said that they have on-site child care. Staff members, too, have occasionally brought their children in, with 33 percent of the respondents saying that staff do so occasionally and 39 percent saying staff members have done so in an emergency. Sixteen percent of respondents said that bringing children into the office is strongly discouraged.
