Opticians as a group cannot seem to get organized to get any progress towards achieving professional goals. The one main association is more concerned about giving a ****ing optician of the year award to some a-hole and bending over for the lobby groups than they are at actually achieving any goals. Optometrists on the other hand, although they couldn't measure a seg height if their life depended on it, were able to push the OMA into giving them TPA's.
Opticians will NEVER gain any progress on any issue, be it refracting, delegating, professional associations, deregulation, unless we get organized. Organization is the way forward. I am tired of pussy opticians who love to complain but don't do **** about it.
Don't take this reply as a slam against opticians but rather a reality check. When the rest of you opticians are ready to get organized and make some ****ing progress give me a shout.
til then, peace out!
