title: Comprehensive vision care: a model.
abstract: This paper suggests a model for the practice of vision care in which the optometrist and ophthalmologist are each used to maximum advantage. It is demonstrated how the present antagonism between the two fields can be removed with a resultant enhancement of the practice of both optometry and ophthalmology. The natural outcome of the new relationship will be better vision care for the public.
