What is the great difference between conhess 9 and conmess 1.Conmess 1 which is ur entry point is conhess 10. Thats the politics that medicine successfully played. Optometrists have a laissez faire attitude to professional politics because they have this ingrained belief that the profession is a private sector playmaker.(I personally dont agree with that position anyway...) With the connmess u r touting u cant still measure up to an average eye clinic.

MBBS - Bachelor in medicine and surgery BDS - Bachelor in Dentistry and Dental surgery.

This is just one of the many cases in which dentist operate on! So for them to treat such cases, they require deep knowledge of Anatomy! Optometrist don't do surgery, so what do you need detailed anatomy for? Does any optometry service cost up to 500k? Braces, Braces, Braces, they range From 500K to 1 million! You know how much Operation of that Cleft lips cost? I wonder why a student like you is already debating about private practice, have you gotten a well paid job before even talking about opening up your private clinic? 1 Like |

Even apart from the surgical operation, they are many other expensive treatments. How many people do braces? this just shows you are poverty stricken person and you live within a poverty circle which can't afford braces! thats why you are here really fighting for relevance over other fields that are surely superior over yours. Almost every week one of my lecturer that is an orthodontist see patients that want braces. Are you on instagram? search for DoctorTimi, go and see the type of visitors he gets, and his Clinic is not even among the biggest dental clinics in Lagos, not to talk of Nigeria. My friend, stop giving unnecessary lies about optometry! My Brother just went back to school today, he would soon do his seminar and he would go for his externship during 2nd semester! Should I start mentioning optometry lecturers I know before you realize I know much about how Optometry department works? The only time I remember that he didn't stay through out the holiday duration was when his set wanted to write council exam or so! Just cut the lies! Optometry follows school calendar, so why wouldn't they go on break? Dentistry students go on break? it shows you don't even know what you are arguing about! I just told you that my brother went home when the session ended and I didn't and you are saying dentistry students go on break? Apart from this Christmas break, we've don't have any other break. My Brother did his 1st externship in the teaching hospital in Kano, and he said all they did was refraction and some other things, while the main work was for the opthalmologist! You know almost 90% of people in optometry applied for medicine right? and you are surely part of this percentage! You don't get Dentistry if you don't apply! And they don't transfer into dentistry  I know many agric transfer students in optometry Every branch of Medicine is very lucrative. 3 Likes |

originbm:may be u don't know that in Nigeria people don't visit anything private. Either private school, clinic or whatever. They prefer to go to a public hospital instead. You may be surprised that if u open an eye clinic no body may show face in week for some reasons 1) eye problem is not common 2) it can be self treated using eyedrop etc 3) People will prefer to see medical doc In a gov hospital. The most common reason is the number 2. although I'm not a dental student but I will tell you dentistry has upper hand over optometry esp due to large queue that is always recorded in some gen hosp dental unit like luth. You have to wait for other people surgery to finish before your turn. As result u av no choice to branch into a dental clinic next to u. Dental clincs are not that common. If not I don't mind visiting one regularly to have a snow teeth. My wives teeth must also be white o. Most people will love to visit any dental clinic close to them. But unfortunately they are very few and far. Hence the lose of interest. |

Dbrainiac1: They are errand boiz and yet they own and run mega clinics....the like of which a dentist will never own in his life time... They are errand boys yet ur salary is the weekly grossing of a good eye clinic.... Lets talk about NHIS...hw much will a dentist make thru the coverage wen only few people patronize them...when optometrists make hell thru the scheme... Go check up the registered clinics....optometry eye clinics take half,opthalmology eye clinics take half.... In case u dont know,the difference between opthalmologists and optometrists in nigeria is sutgery.... But dont get excited like someone abt to climax wen u hear surgery... The question is this:what percentage of eye care does surgical intervention represent... ANSWER :JUST ABOUT 10% The only restorative ocular surgery in Nigeria is cataract extraction.... If u are intelligent enough u should be asking urself what the other 90% is and who is qualified to do that..... That answer is the reason y optometry is so lucrative.... Non surgical intervention is 90%.... Guess wat ....optometry has that 90% in their bag..... But thats Nigeria,cause in America optometrists perform surgery.... In that 90% u have.. Diagnosis of ocular diseases with pharmocological agents and clinical instruments Treatment of ocular diseases with pharmacological agents Management of post operative and pre operative patients Prescription for refractive errors Orthoptics for convergence-accomodation anomalies Behavioural txtment of visual conditions Low vision rehabilitation Contact lens txtment AND GUESS WHAT....THEY DO ALL THESE INDEPENDENTLY Like all good and non-hungry clinicians like dentists,they refer when their is need....to a gp,neurologist,opthalmologist.etc....

It is a very nice profession and people patronise including smokers etc I know people belittle it but it is a very nice profession. Esp if u know how to do business. And again I don't know why u compare optometrists with opthalmologists. Because as for me I will prefer to be worked on by a dr than a road side health worker. Sincerwly dentistry is a very nice profession. Go and find out and stop belittling a profession u know nothing about. simply because u don't mind having a rotten teeth. I hope u don't have mouth odour sha. Sorry for asking anway. Beside must u have your own clinic. The work dentists do in places like luth is so much that I doubt if he will time for a private clinic. Dentist are surgeon while optometrist are not. They are doctors while optometrists are not. The are under the same council with med doc NMDC while optometrists are not. Optometrist don't perform surgery they only text vision. But anyway as for me I prfer the profession of dentistry so much than ur optometry. Maybe because i kove to perfirm the surgery. Infact u shldnt be comparing urselg with them. It is just like comparing pharmacy with dentistry. You shld be comparing urself with med rehab or med lab science or pharmacy.

originbm:I can see u don't like dentistry, the same way I too don't like pharmacy. But that is not an excuse to be watering and belittling these great surgeons. One man's food is another's man poison. What u hate another may like it. Pls stop throwing deragotory remarks against dentists because they are not ur mate. It is dentist vs opthalmologist and not optometrist. Don't spoil. dentistry simply because u hate it or can't do it. You are so ignorant. 1 Like |

originbm:Instead of you to learn, you choose to keep on arrogantly basking in your ignorance! Medicine and surgery students also graduate with Bachelor's, so therefore you guys are higher up the medical hierarchy than them right? BDS is equivalent to MBBS, that's why they are under the same union! cutoff mark for dentistry in uniben this last admission was 60.Dont tell me nonsense dentistry is not competitive...ISo optometry that receives leftovers from medicine and accepts transfer student is competitive? |

originbm:Can you read or do you have comprehension issues? What do optometry students do during the break after 500LWasn't this the question I asked when you said it is not called externship? It is not done within the confines of the school, they do it in their state of residence! You dont know they go for posting for clinical optics dispensing after 400 level which ends the week school resumes.... I said earlier that it was only once or twice that he did not go for holiday, and this was the only time he didn't go home, but he went after 1st semester break! So I don't know why you out-rightly they don't go for holidays from 400L. came here asking me useless questions about the courses optometry students offer and yet ur brother is in optometry..... Tell me your level let me mention people I know in your class. dont have time to go to instagram and waste my mb on what i hv already investigated.....Then I have no business with you! BTW, I know 2 people that left Optometry to Dentistry - A guy in 200L and a girl in 500L. You can confirm the 200L guy easily, just go to Medical complex L2, ask for dentistry class rep, then ask him for the guy! |

homesteady: That person that left simply could not cope.Nobody leaves after 500 level by choice...Nobody has just a yr to complete a programme and leaves by choice...Some people can be in 500 level and stilk have no hope of finishing in 6yrs time,thats if they do at all....In my class soneone left after 400 level,wrote jamb again to medicine....but the reason was because he was asked to leave the dept...that was my friend....rather than move to another course,he decided towrite jamb again....Nobody leaves after seeing 18 patients and writing over 220 credit exams....ask ur guy wat happened.... The more u talk the more i doubt ur ability to ratiocinate.... What percentage of peopke do solo practice in their state of residence?There are rules for approvsl of clinics,what if there are none that merts yhe stipulated rule in your state?Only about 20% of a class spend in their state...benin for example is a difficilt place to do solo because every vlinic is entitled yo just 2 patients.... And even that ,how can u call days spent in clinical training a holiday? You start by 8pm and end by 5pm everyday and u write case reports,tests,vivres etc... Solo is a continuation of ur clinical training outdide,or dont u know its a full credit course? If i am to follow ur reasoning it means that medical students who reside in benin,and stay back for clinical training in ubth after school are on holidays beause they are undergoing the training in their place of residence.... Most people go outside their state,some to kaduna,bonny camp,porthacourt,agbor....they rent accomodation just for the period... how is it a holiday.... So those that go on externship in hospitals in their state of residence are on holidays?...being able to get placement in ur state is a at most providential...luck...cause it reduces the expense of accomodation... Some people go to school from thrir house in benin,are they now perpetually on holiday? First semester has just a break of 2 weeks...the real holiday in school is after second semester.... First semester break is no break in optometry....Most 500 level students use that time to meet up with their patient load in clinic,since clinic exams are done only in the end of the yr....Didactic work stops do that the lecturers continue with the 500 level students and in-600 level students in clinic.... After 400 level u go for clinical optical dispensing posting.You leave by 8 and get bsck sometimes by 6pm.....is that not worse than being in school? Optometry starts after 400 level exams.Thats when 65% of students fail out...an additional 20 to 25 % leaves after 500 level... 70 students graduating out of 250 students.....thats only 28%...thats how optometry is....i hv friends that were transfered out to nursing,geology,some to social sciences...some write jamb again,get into medicine and start forming scholars.....those kind of people will never tell you wat drove them out of optonetry school,or that they are drop outs....i know so many of them...the other day i saw one holding a discussion tutorial for his classmates in library extension....i just smiled...get close to them,one day they will open up and tell u the truth... 2 Likes |

HighIQ: Haha.... U cant even argue in favor of dentistry for just 2 seconds without calling medicine....thats my point.... Dentistry is not a stand alone profession... I like dentistry....the fact is that it is not as lucrative in the private sector as optometry.... Talk from today till tomorrow....a dentist is a novice in eye care....give him the clinical case note and work-up data of a patient with a problem as little as accomodative esotropia,and watch him become an illiterate....so wat has the dentist to say against optometry with the exception of medical fall out of professional politics? In lecturing optometry lecturers start from lecturer 2 just like medicine...We have dedicated doctors in the optometry clinic who dont lecture...whose job is purely clinical..... In ur thinking,dentistry is great because it is under the same board with medicine... Will a medical student also say:" Medicine is great because it is under the same board with dentistry"? No medical student will ever say that.... Concludion.... Dentistry is priviledged in public sector not due to merit,but by virtue of its association... Cry from today till tomorrow....Medicine merely tolerates dentistry.... WORD UP. 3 Likes |

originbm:All this verbose rubbish because you lack basic comprehension! That is their current class in Dentistry! And there is yearly influx of optometry students to medicine, I know 2 in my set! When my brother was taking me to my post-utme venue, he saw his classmate on the medicine queue and he was in 300L then.more u talk the more i doubt ur ability to ratiocinate.... This whole issue stems from your ignorance and bad comprehension. Medical School does not follow School Calendar, so other students on holiday does not affect our program. So during The solo practice and the other one, the session is still on? Do they receive classes? My brother always went by past 9 and came back before 4pm! First semester has just a break of 2 weeks...the real holiday in school is after second semester.... Is it a holiday? Yes or No? besides who spends only 2 weeks at home? First semester break is no break in optometry....Most 500 level students use that time to meet up with their patient load in clinic,Really? Are they treating Lizards and rats? because students forms the bulk of the patients, and they are on holiday Please quote each reply and answer, it makes it easier to read, because your typos are not helping matters.
