It happens too often, that's for sure. There are two ODs that I count on for clients who need an excellent refraction. They solve problems that are unsolvable by other doctors, and do so without creating new problems. They make me look like a miracle worker, but it's truly a team effort with everyone at their best- lab, optician, and the doctor.
Some are missing really easy stuff. No reason for that.It's rushed medical vision care. And Techs that are less than fully skilled.
Trust, but verify. I've refused to fill some RXs (sending the client back to the doctor for a recheck before the Rx is filled!), and if that Rx fails, on to a second opinion. Indeed, a very unpleasant situation for all, although my neck seems to have the most exposure.So I approach every Rx with suspicion. And I feel most should too.
