As a locum Optometrist the annual fee is becoming unaffordable!

My income as an Optometrist is way to little to pay an annual fee of more than R2000 on the same level with practitioners earning more than twice mine.

These fees are ridiculously high and definitely does not match up to the income earned as optometrists. This ought to be reduced!

The amount its too much plus they protect the public more than the practitioners. We pay them to abuse our rights as Optometrist

The fee is totally absurd. We don't even make half of what Drs make. Even in the public sector Optometrists have the lowest salary scale compared to Audiologists. Physiotherapists, etc

(Polokwane, 2020-03-05)

#457

We are paying exorbitant prices compared to our colleagues. It's just too much

(Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

It doesn’t make sense to me why should Optometrists pay this much when they earn less, neglected in DOH and not even receiving rural allowance.

(Pomeroy, 2020-03-05)

It is very expensive and i agree it is unfair to us as optometrists.

The hpcsa is a rip off
The HPCSA has not implemented the Mayosi commission recomendations

It has done nothing to uplift the practitioners

(KZN, 2020-03-05)

The fees are too high and we are told it's because we are not many yet each year we have new qualified graduates joining the industry.

(Polokwane, 2020-03-05)

#480

We need some change in the 'industry'

(Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#487

The fees that are being charged is exuberant and not in accordance to what we as practitioners earn.

(Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#491

When compared to other professions in our income bracket. Our HPCSA fee are way over what it should be.

(Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#493

I feel strongly that optometrists should pay a reduced HPCSA fee.

(Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#494

The money is too much for us and we the only health professional that is paying more than other health profwssionals including the specialist.

(Polokwane, 2020-03-05)

#497

The amount optometrists are expected to pay is ludicrous when compared to other health disciplines!

(Alberton, 2020-03-05)

#502

I agree that the fee is outrageously inflated and disproportionate to our counterparts, taking into consideration that the HPCSA is merely a register that logs practitioners and bills them an exorbitantly high annual fee for this.

(Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#508

I agree we are paying too high amount.

(Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

Extreme overcharging

(Johannesburg, 2020-03-05)

#523

It's rediculous that a Dispensing Optician must pay the same fees as an Optometrist..... They're salaries are 3 or 4 times what we earn.

(Cape Town, 2020-03-05)

#575

The fee for optometrist is unfairly high especially since we don’t earn as much as gps.

(Durban, 2020-03-05)

#578

I believe the fees are ridiculous taking into account the fact that the PBODO has done nothing in favor of Optometry and Optometrists, they even stalled a very progressive therapeutics course which would've advanced the profession.

(Durban, 2020-03-05)

#590

The fees are too high for the average optometrist especially those that are sole practitioners in low income areas.

(DURBAN, 2020-03-05)
