Concern over standard of optical care

SHIRINA Rashid’s letter “Optical shops not manned by eye-care specialists” (The Star, March 24) has not only caught my attention but also has hit the nail on the head regarding the issue of fake eye-care professionals in Malaysia.  

As an expatriate who has made Malaysia his second home, the writer’s letter has not only addressed her concerns towards the standard of optical care and health for the public, present and future generations, but also left me shuddering at the thought of leaving my eye health in the hands of those unlicensed rogues who have no knowledge whatsoever in relation to optometry.
