Yes, many people feel they know more than their doctor and disregard the professional advice they are paying for. Unfortunately, many of those same people people wind up with significant complications from contact lens abuse including corneal ulcers with permanent vision loss.

Perhaps if you hadn't gone in for your annual eye exams, you would have such a problem. What person considers providing the best care possible another may consider a scam. Likewise with oil changes, dental exams, drivers licenses, and diplomas.
