Wrong presentation

A person called in recently saying that he was an optometrist, and wanted his son (who was having squint) to be examined by the ophthalmologist at our eye clinic. The receptionist gave him 50% discount in fee. Later it turned out that he was not an optometrist, but had merely possessed FDOA. It appears that persons having undergone such short-term courses in opticianry invariably present themselves as optometrists, and the practice is derogatory to the professional growth of qualified optometry.
