Abstract
- The author reflects on the threats being faced by medical practitioners and optometrists. He notes that managed-care organizations and government regulations have attacked the medical profession. He cites the effects of the proposal to cut 10% in Medicare fees effective July 1, 2008, and the move by Florida Optometrists to push legislation that will allow them to perform intravitreal injections. The author urges ophthalmologists to fight against the proposed legislation and opposes the expansion of optometric practice.
