Eye Doctor Charges of Avarice In Prescribing and Selling Glasses
Dr Christopher Wood of Myrtle Beach testified before a Senate subcommittee that many ophthalmologists in private practice sell eyeglasses they prescribe. He said money involved drives the practice and urged legislation to end doctor dispensing. A survey cited 40.2 percent of about 6,200 ophthalmologists selling glasses, with 1964 consumer glass expenditures at 155.5 million dollars. The AMA is criticized for inaction on the issue.
