It is unfair that we pay the highest fee of everybody towards the HPCSA and our profession are govern the worst of everybody.

I'm signing because our hpcsa fees are really high. A reduction would be great.

This is mad. I’m a state employed optom and my salary cannot cover a fee like this when other allied health professionals are paying half and doctors earning 4 or 5 times my salary are paying the same amounts.

As a member of the Namibian Optometric Association, South-Africa's HPCSA rates directly affect our HPCNA rates and also the salary an optometrist is paid, is not near that of what a general practitioner pays.

I cannot afford these fees
Penalize those who have incurred costs
Reduce fees to those who have no record of wrong doing

Devrani Gengiah (Durban, 2020-03-05)

Hlawulani Khoza (Malamulele, 2020-03-05)

#281

The fees are way too high for our income bracket. Also in comparison to other professions closer to our own! This has to change!

Maria Lantouris (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#282

Why must i pay nearly the same amount of hcspa fees as a docter with a title that charges much more. Optometrists need a reduction in fees or our scopes must be increased then.

Junilla Gabel-Smit (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#283

One of the excuses stated in the newsletter was if there's few professionals in that board then the higher the fees. Now my question is, there's more Speech Therapists in our country than Optoms???

Nontobeko Madi (Eshowe, 2020-03-05)

#288

I am a dispensing optician and has to payR2350 and I am being paid much less than an optometrist and can’t afford to pay this amount anymore We get the worst benefits from medical aids but have high HPCSA fees This is enough

Monica Le Roux (Secunda, 2020-03-05)

Matema Sathekge (Polokwane, 2020-03-05)

It's ridiculous that our fees are so high in comparison to other health care professionals. And for no apparent reason.

Nadia Strauss (Pretoria, 2020-03-05)

#301

I'm signing Because the fees we are paying are too exorbitant.

Winnie Rikhotso (Makhado, 2020-03-05)

#302

I'm signing because as a locum optometrist I feel we should have a separate reduced fee that is lower and on top of all the fees we are paying for licensing and labs, this HPCSA fee is just too much

Banyana Mokwena (Clayville East, 2020-03-05)

#306

I find the annual Hpcsa fees for an Optometrist to be exorbitant.

Sabihah Bhyat (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#314

I feel abused and taken advantage of. Why should we pay way more than our peers as primary healthcare professionals?

Shirley Matsimbi (Lephalale, 2020-03-05)

#316

In comparison our fees are MUCH higher than other professions

Marietjie janse van Rensburg (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#325

The amount we are required to pay is way too much, we cannot afford it

Manpholo Josephina Mpyana (Polokwane, 2020-03-05)

#326

The fees are unjustifiably high: optometrists do not earn as much as other healthcare professionals paying the same amount in fees. Also, a 17% annual increase in fees is unacceptable.

Padmini Pillay (Port Elizabeth, 2020-03-05)

#327

I dnt feel it is fair that optometrists pay so much more than other health care practitioners

Khadija Kajee (Durban, 2020-03-05)

I cannot afford the fees

Mpho Maluleke (Pretoria, 2020-03-05)

#349

Optometrists do indeed need more recognition as medical practitioners, and shouldn't just be charged as such.

Cornelia Naidoo (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#357

We don't get paid what a GP gets paid... Why should we then pay almost the same annual fee as them. If we are grouped under allied health why are other members under allied health paying much less then us.

Betsie Deacon (Welkom, 2020-03-05)

#358

The HPCSA fee is unbelievably high for Optometrists

Takalani Mukheli (Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#374

Our annual fee does not make any sense at all

Amukelani Jimmy Zitha (Nelspruit, 2020-03-05)

#376

It is extremely high and we get nothing in return. The escalation is also extreme

Annamarie De Kock (Secunda, 2020-03-05)

#379

The fees are too much for us as primary health care practitioners

Noko Mokwele (Boksburg, 2020-03-05)

#385

I am signing as a Optical dispenser. Our fees are way too high. Our earning capacity is nowhere near optometrist or medical practitioner.

Peter Solomon (Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#386

I'm signing because as an employee earning a basic salary I can't afford the exorbitant fees charged yearly by the HPCSA for me to practice as an Optometrist.

Kerry Brown (Bloemfontein, 2020-03-05)

#388

I find the amount way too high.

Farhana Latief (Pretoria, 2020-03-05)

#393

The fees are too high and the pay is too little

Tryphosa Jeza (Bela Bela, 2020-03-05)

#395

Our amount that we pay is ridiculous compared to Doctor's amount

Zelda De Bruijn (Bryanston, 2020-03-05)

#397

The fees that we pay are way above any other professional it is unreasonably high and every year it goes up without regulations in place . I have been practicing since 2002 and it is outrageous.

Leanne Duffey (Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#399

I agree optometrists fees are too excessive
