You are correct in your assessment of the situation. But do you really think the BIG boys will help you? Not a chance! This happened in N.Y. where everybody was saying lets lighten up the Optical exam so it's not so tuff and we can get more Opticians in the field. Now, not more good Opticians just opticians. This was headed by the Evil Empire because they wanted more help at cheaper rates. Well they went for the MICKEY MOUSE ABO instead of one of the tuffest exams in the US, they abolished the old N.Y. Optical exam. And as was said before there are people out there that don't know the difference between a PD ruler and yard stick or Slab off from a Panamic bifocal ( panamic is for some of you old timers) and I doubt if they have ever heard of or seen a lenticular lens or heard of a ribbon segment. I m not saying your going to use this knowledge now, but where has the history and the education gone? They used to sing: "Where have the flowers gone" now it could be said: "Where have the Opticians gone":(
