You run into a political and economic power play,that has been resisting your efforts. It is a miracle that the bills got past some of this resistance, but now is the hurdle of the the parents ,teachers and followers to be able to have their input into the proper administration of the law. Whether it's the screeners and its waste of tax dollars or the jocking in position by the eye professionals to stack the referrals to benefit one profession over the other, these issues will be haunting what is best for final outcome of the childrens vision testing and interfering with the parents' voice. Only you...the parents, teachers and friends with the help of our legislators could have broken down this gate of long standing. Thanks Dr. Mizener In summary, digesting the whole picture what should be a no brainer, “that all children should have a comprehensive eye and vision in their developmental years.” You run into a political and economic power play,that has been resisting your efforts.

It is a miracle that the bills got past some of this resistance, but now is the hurdle of the the parents ,teachers and followers to be able to have their input into the proper administration of the law. Whether it’s the screeners and its waste of tax dollars or the jocking in position by the eye professionals to stack the referrals to benefit one profession over the other, these issues will be haunting what is best for final outcome of the childrens vision testing and interfering with the parents’ voice.

Only you…the parents, teachers and friends with the help of our legislators could have broken down this gate of long standing.

Thanks

Children's comprehensive eye and vision examinations by an optometrist or ophthalmologist is the only way to detect the multitude of eye and vision anomalies. Our childen deserve to be completely visually examined, parents are alerted to what is best, and are now demanding such.

For example: The voters were against a bailout for the automakers... and our elected officials voted for it anyway! The voters vote against a tax levy... the elected officials hold special elections and keep holding them... until it passes! It is now a tossup as to who has the worst state officials in the nation... New Jersey, New York or Illinois and judging by the problems you have been having with this very important issue I would have to say that Illinois is up there! SW Janet,

Sorry to hear that they do not care..... but just look at the system..... Somehow all the people seem to think that children's eye care is already good enough...... I am not surprised at all....I have expected nothing else. It's very hard to change this world...and without people power nothing really happens! It's important that you focus on the parents and make sure that they will care about their children's eyes and vision! One child at a time... All the best and don't give up! Hans Hi Janet!
