Abstract

The optometrist was writing to ask whether anyone knew a reputable glaucoma specialist in the patient's area to whom a referral could be made. I must have been having a lucid interval in my day, because I read into the language used in the emails: One optometrist used the term "glaucoma specialist" whereas the other used the term "ophthalmologist." However, "ophthalmologist" was not the term used by the optometrist looking for a glaucoma specialist. [Extracted from the article]
