ask me about eyes

what kind of kickbacks do you get from contact companies for prescribing a certain kind? can you tell me anything about the acuvue oasys? I just got them because I have really dry eyes from accutane and they are incredible, light years better than the acuvue advance. how well does optometry pay?

my doc told me about a meth user patient she had, and the meth crystallized at the back of his eyeball and looked like snow, ever seen anything like this?

We get no kickbacks from contact lens companies. The only thing that we get is a better price on certain brands of lenses if we dispense a certain amount. SO basically, some companies will have tiered prices and our office will fall into one tier or another depending on how many of a certain brand we dispense. But that's no different than buying anything else in bulk and getting a better price.

Yes right now Oasys is my lens of choice. Excellent lens, very breathable and comfortable.

Optometry is like any other self employed business.....if you are a shrude businessman, you can make over 500K......probably a lot more but that would not be the norm. But on average I would say anywhere from 80K to 300K.

There are no meth users in canada. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
