The Quebec Order of Dispensing Opticains has won a court battle against the Quebec optometrist, and has shut down the illegal use of non-licensed personel .....taking measurements....dispensing eyeglasses and making eyeglass adjustments. While this is a good thing it has left a bitter taste in my mouth about the future realsonship of opt and optom. Current data showes an increase number of opticians hired in optometrist offices. Illegal is illegal and the Order of Optom should have taken their own stand on this matter (so said the judge). The future will tell how this works out.
