Optomitrist Groups Urge Comprehensive Eye exams for Schoolchildren

From April 27th issue. Interesting article. Optometrists and ophthalmologists in Florida are pushing to make comprehensive eye exams a must in order to get into school. They claim that it is important to get the comprehensive exam because the "free" less intensive screenings are missing some issues for some students. However, one doctor is an opponent of the required exam. He feels there are alterier motives to making it a must. He believes that most eye doctors are just out for the extra money in their pockets instead of having the students best interest in mind. I tend to agree. Maybe more doctors should be helping out in free clinics and offereing help with the cost of getting the exams and or glasses.
