Some Stories from the History of Eye Care by Dr. Joseph Ross I started my first pratice in a ghetto medical clinic while paying off my college debts working for chain stores part time. After seeing the disasters that commercial chain store eye care caused, I was determined to start a professional practice and treat people with respect and honor. Here is a few of stories that motivated me: Painful Neurological Testing: One of my most angry moments was when I met a poor Spanish lady in the Bronx, who had undergone dangerous medical testing for chronic headaches caused by poor eye glasses. She had NO neurological disease causing her headaches! She had the left and right lenses reversed in her glasses by a high volume chain store! What if that had been your wife? Undiagnosed Convergence Problems: I have seen numerous cases of children who were failing school because they “hated to read.” Interestingly enough they had motor coordination problems which can not be diagnosed in a quickie exam, as high volume optical chains stores often provide. The simple treatment of eye exercises is only offered by professional optometrists. It can change a child's life for the better in just a few months! What if it was your child? Retinal Detachments & Lost Sight: I recently saw a patient who has NEVER had her eyes dilated. She had a high prescription which immediately told me she was a candidate for a retinal detachment. She was so used to poor eye care that she thought I was trying to talk her into an unneeded test, after all the other doctors never suggested it at the big store. Two days later her MD sent her to a Retinal Specialist at my recommendation and her tear was diagnosed and repaired in an emergencysurgical procedure. Had she not gone she could have lost her sight over night! The Little Bit Of Brown Pigment: No one noticed it until she came here and we looked with a bio-microscope at the back of her cornea. Now she is on medication for glaucoma, before she lost her vision. What if it was your daughter or son? The test took just a few minutes but does not "sell glasses" that make the chain stores to profitable! One White Eye is NOT Attractive I saw the pretty blonde 24-year old secretary because she got nervous when her contact lens really started to hurt. She was sleeping with them, the doctor at the store said it was OK. The lenses were fit slightly too tight and over months had triggered a corneal ulcer. Medications saved her eye but not her vision and the eye is now scarred white (the other is a pretty blue). Good follow up and careful fitting could have prevented the problem. She should also have known that sleeping with daily wear lenses was dangerous but they were too busy to inform her. What if it was your child? PEOPLE ASK WHY I WON'T JOIN THE "EYE-MED," "DAVIS VISION" OR OTHER HIGH VOLUME LOW FEE INSURANCE PLAN THEIR EMPLOYER HAS FORCED UPON THEM: Note the names of the optical store that fill the majority of listings for these plans. It reads like a list of the fast food joints under a big corporate name. These plans pay doctors so little and pressure the doctors to do such high volume that you will get the level of care I describe above. ...read more
