Hello! I'm prepping for more interview questions and wanted to know of some common ethical issues optometrists face. One that I can think of deals with billing insurance/patients for photos when the photos didn't diagnose anything. For example, a fundus photo appears normal, but the optometrist tells the patient that the photo shows X disease/problems and further testing is required. In the chart, however, the doctor notes that the photo appears normal. Ethically, this is definitely not acceptable, especially when the doctor is stealing money from the insurance/patient.
What other examples can you think of?
