A question for those of you who are currently practicing: how often do you get referrals from other doctors (besides other optometrists)? During my army optometry internship, I learned that military optometrists often get referrals (aka "consults") from family practitioners, internists, pediatricians, and other primary care MDs when they encounter eye problems.
Also, if you do get referrals, how does it work? i.e. do you have to call other primary care physicians in your area so that they can refer to you?
