Chip,
I estimate the image size difference at 5%(had to make some base curve, vertex distance and thickness assumptions), not 50%, but considering that anything over 3% can be clinically...

Chi,
I think we agree here, perhaps it is symantics only. I believe that there are many symptoms for cataracts, as do the majority of us who diagnose cataracts and I wouldn't call all of them...
Chip,
If one never had to perform differential diagnosis of all ocular conditions it certainly would be nice to just have to note one or the other of those 2 symptoms in the chart. There are...
Carlos,
Are you perhaps an engineer by trade? I ask because of the detailed post you made here to outline your problem. This seems like something I have seen some of my engineer patients do. I...
Don't rule out the possibility that the patient actually requires prismatic correction before suggesting that the PD's are incorrect. He may have had some base in or out put in with decentration,...
For Life,
I have tried to answer your question as best I can, but at this point do not feel it is worthwhile trying to convince you that your view is not realistic. I will step away, agreeing to...
For Life,
There is a large differnece between the Ontario Association of Optometrists and the Ontario College of Optometrists. The Association is an organization to serve their members (OD's)...
For Life,
I think I can safely assume that you do not have much experience dealing with regulatory bodies.

For Life,
This is mandated by the Ontario College of Optometrists. OD's in Ontario are not allowed to do it any other way, but believe me they would like to. hopefully this will change soon....
That is an absolutely brilliant comment, if I had been a dentist then there would be one fewer OD in the world. Don't forget the 540 other people who applied and did not get in. The number of grads...
For-Life,
OD's themselves have absolutely no control overt the number of graduating OD's. Schools do not listen to market analysis, they will take on more students if they think they can do so...
Tom,
I have not been on this site for several years, primarilly because of the strong anti-OD comments made. Your post on another site to review the posts on this one has brought me back as...
Optiboard,
I have listened and participated in this board for a few months and believe that I have contributed in a constructive manner to try and reduce the obvious anxiety between our...
Aaron,
Proclear are not silcone hydrogels. The only ones are NIght and Day and Purevision(Still available here). THe use as a bandage is an off-label one as they are not FDA approved for it. ...
For the first question on soft lens adaptation, I start at 6-8 hours the first day and only set a max. wearing time for the first week at 10 hours/day. After one week, they can go to all waking...
Texas,
Being a Canuck I am no expert on Medicare, but there are some rules that apply to all third party payors and you do not understand them. You cannot bill more than your usual and customary...
Laurie,
My point is the analogy between a prescription and and surgery. What exactly is the difference between the two?
Shaun?,
I wish I lived in that world where an OD simply wrote out...
Laurie,
I think that you are missing the point. I write a prescription and fill it. The surgeon recomends surgery and performs it. What exactly are you suggesting is the difference? That...
Interesting points of view. Why then is it OK for a physician to prescribe the surgery that they perform? In order to eliminate this dilemna perhaps MD's should have someone else prescribe the...
