This thought occurred to me over the weekend during a particularly boring CEC...
Given that 1800CONTACTS dispensed to their 1,000,000th patient this year, and given that we all know they dispense tons of lenses without a valid Rx, shouldn't it follow that they should have been sued by now?
I mean, do you mean to tell me they've never had a non-complier patient develop a corneal ulcer in over a million dispenses??? Even if they settled out of court, I would imagine that Optometric Business or Vision Monday would have reported a suit. If there haven't been any, is it possible that the chances of a corneal complication arising from the misuse of contact lenses is so minute that they really shouldn't require an Rx? (Just playing devil's advocate here, you all know I despise soft contact lenses :) .)
Opinions?
