“…20,23,25,29 Similarly, rank may have a significant effect on these calculations, with h-indices being similar for men and women who were associate or full professors. 17,36 When comparing research productivity among ophthalmology residency or fellowship program directors (PDs), the number of publications and other markers of research productivity were also similar between men and women, 15,27,34 except in paediatric ophthalmology where female PDs had lower h-indices and m-quotients than men. 28 Women in other leadership positions, such as organisation or editorial board members, have no difference in average m-quotient 37 or h-index 41 when compared to men.…”

“…Recent studies have reported a range of 25%–38% females in residency program director (PD) positions 5,15,65 . The proportion of females as subspecialty program directors varies more widely: 11% female oculoplastic PDs, 27 15% female vitreoretinal surgery PDs, 34 35% female medical retina PDs, 34 and 48% female paediatric ophthalmology PDs 28 . The proportion of female ophthalmology department chairs in recent years has ranged 10%–17% 5,66 but has not changed significantly in the last several decades 67 .…”

As the field of ophthalmology has evolved in the last several decades, so has the gender distribution of ophthalmologists. We conducted a narrative review to further characterise the status of women in the realm of publication, presentations, editorial positions, grants, academic promotion, and financial compensation. While the proportion of women publishing, presenting, and filling academic and editorial roles has increased over time, it still does not match that of men. Women are more likely to be first authors instead of senior authors, have lower average h‐indices, and are awarded fewer grants. The magnitude of some of these differences is smaller when adjusted for women's shorter career duration on average. Despite increased representation of women in ophthalmology, women continue to receive less compensation for the same work. This review highlights that more can be done to improve gender parity in ophthalmology.
