Optometry and learning disabilities
Mark wrote:
Aside from visual problems that physically impede the flow of (visual) information, what does Optometry have to do with learning disabilities? The reason I ask is that in perusing the Yellow Pages for an optometrist...long story...I came across an ad for one practice stating that in addition to contact lenses and glaucoma screening, they also performed comprehensive learning disability testing. A quick "google" led to thousands of links to optometrists doing the same thing. The long story: a local optometrist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for bilking Medicare out of thousands by performing unnecessary glaucoma tests of patients who had no symptoms of glaucoma...and for billing for tests that she had never even performed. Yea, regulation and prosecution of criminals! Here's another criminal that was nabbed: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+%...UTF-8&filter=0 We know the family. Another one... http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ed...=Searc h+News He was a pretty good doctor, just lousy with billing. BTW, can you say 'disgruntled employee?' |
