In Ontario there is still a two class system in place where COO knowingly allows unauthorized dispensing to go unchecked and unchallenged .
It should be illegal for internetters to advertise and dispense into Ontario without licensed Ontario Opticians. There is a way to put an end to this .
Your Ontario regulatory body must deal with this matter . In 6 months time your College of Opticians of Ontario will want more money from you for license renewal plus they want to raise your fees even higher . Accepting money from legal opticians for the purpose of regulating the industry and then not performing that duty and allowing a two class system to exist is a great injustice for Ontario's hard working legal opticians .
Think twice before you send more money to COO in December . Demand positive PROOF that they will take IMMEDIATE ACTION on this matter now ! Don't wait till December again based on promises that never happen .
Optometrists, you should do the same with your regulatory board . You have every bit as much to lose by constant inaction and empty promises.
