Forty-seven patients were randomly assigned to have their blood pressure measured (experimental group) or not (control group) during a routine optometric examination. A comparison of patient attitudes indicated that those in the experimental group were more likely than those in the control group to perceive the optometric examination more favorably and the optometric examiner as more professionally competent.
