Mikeod,

I thought my post would probably offend some retired optometrist. Note that I did not concur with the original poster that optometrists were classed as "eye glass salespeople."

You undoubtedly did a lot of good for a lot of people, particularly with glaucoma screenings, because if you had not done the preliminary screenings to identify potential problems, the people might never have sought medical treatment. I applaud you for that.

However, I remain steadfast that when I go for an eye examination I want it done by a medical doctor who is an eye specialist. That is my position.
