I notice a tremendous emphasis on medical conditions, most that will cause vision loss in some, if not many, patients. Yet I see no speakers on how to treat those with vision loss. Optometry used to be the vision care profession. We’ve lost our way. Optometry seems to care about diagnosis, treatment and prevention of vision loss but not about those who have actually lost vision.

Every CE course that has speakers on treating medical condition should have a speaker on how to treat vision loss….low vision.

Am employed in such a state and have experienced a toxic relationship
with my employer (a large institution). I was ambushed, called into a
meeting termed “discussion”. Once in the meeting, the two administrators
had a look of hatred in their faces and verbally accused of receiving complaintts from staff of me of saying
“sexual” comments to staff and that the admins. asked my to stop on multiple occasions but that I continued.
The implication is that I am a ex pervert with no self-control.
All lies. I have no desire to make such comments and know that such comments
could cost me my state license which I’ve maintained
unblemished since 1981. It almost seems as if they have me confused with someone
else. My career history: No complaints to the state Board ever, no malpractice cases and no known
breach of patient safety, ever.

My spouse is a public school teacher and belongs to a teacher’s union. I have
no organization to back me up in this dispute. But wait… the admins
accused me of “he said-she-said” stuff. Yet…the admins. continue to keep me fully
scheduled where I am in a small exam room with patients in private. Nothing adds up.

Perhaps someone at work is envious, jealous or has some sort of personality disorder.
Am wondering if the admins. want me out because I do not charge aggressively
regarding clinical fees that are self-pay”…although my P&L is
in the black when including profits from the optical department.

I plan to retire in 6 to 8 months from now anyhow and receive my job-related benefits via my spouse.
Don’t need the money but want to end my career on a high note. and must give 6 months notice.
Why do they attempt to poison my reputation by spreading lies that essentially imply that I am a perv.? I and many others many others that
have known me for a long time agree that I am being lied to to my face by the admins. My wife supports me and knows and accepts that I am being lied to…I will accept legal guidance in this forum but already know that in an employement at will state, an attorney will say the employer can do what they want except if discrimination can proven. The rules of my employer are that I cannot ask who or whom complained about verbal comments that are thought of as inappropriate. I cannot find out who complained about me and cannot confirm veracity of complaints per policy. I’ve known for many years that such comments are not tolerated and never did said or implied inappropriate comments. Optometry is practiced with honor and respect.
Am I in a protected class given that I will be 70 years old in next July? The situation as it stands npw is that those we work with can attack falsely and be protected.

Thanks Steve, it was fun! I’m sure your voice must be shot today.

The software worked well, each time we go through it gives us an opportunity to refine it based on actual user feedback, so at the September event folks will see some changes around the edges, mostly related to the user interface. [ie, making stuff clear for us presbyopes]

The critical thing is that the platform has now proven itself to be reliable under load — the support burden has started to drop [we had very few actual problems this weekend — 99.99% of people’s systems worked fine, and everyone seemed to know how to work the software at the conference], which is exactly what we intended when we set about rewriting the CEwire software from scratch in 2021!
