The joys that half term brings is all the lovely children coming into the practice. Parents that want their child to have their specs before they go back to school, then moaning when you can't. I ask why wait until Saturday to get things sorted.
The joys of dispensing to children is the satisfaction of ensuring that you are doing all that you can for that child. If the frame does not fit correctly you can deform the child's features and possibly cause long term damage. Reassuring parents that they have not been a bad parent because they have missed the fact that their child is unable to see as well as they could have been. Explaining to children why the must wear their specs and when to use them.
The thing that gets me is hospital prescription. The last 10 or so hospital prescriptions of over a combined power of 5 diopters without a BVD is outrageous and when i phone to get it I get the standard please fax the prescription to us and we will then get the information you need. Its British standards to write the BVD on all prescriptions over 5 diopters do they feel that as they are hospital prescribers they do not need to comply to this rule.
