Not that anyone here cares what YOU think or presume, mostly because you
are so often wrong or just ignorant. But for the remaining readers who
do have the ability to learn things, I write.........
Here in the 21st century, ODs, doctors of optometry are trained and
licensed to treat a variety of eye medical conditions using medical
techniques and prescribing pharmaceutical agents. The scope of medical
practice for ODs varies to some degree in some USA states and other
countries. The services available from a competent, ethical and
professional optometrists range from optical prescriptions for
spectacles, contact lens fitting, to the diagnosis of systemic and eye
health issues, including treatment eye health issues and proper
referrals to medical specialists as necessary.

Not my rate. But at $113 it's cheaper than it was in 1985.

Me, I'd gladly settle for "competent" when it comes to optical
prescriptions. Well, "willing", too, and having some time left for
refractions, after all the professional and ethical strutting around
is done.
