I had 2 appointments cancelled, just called to rebook and was told I could not be seen without a mask.
Asked the usual question about why: if the other people are wearing masks and have been vaxxed - are they not protected? Got an idiot health safety protocol spiel. This has to end.
Just found this in Optometry Today:
Face masks ‘not mandatory’ for patients in optical practices, according to new government regulations
Despite government guidance, the AOP has emphasised that optometrists should still feel confident insisting patients wear masks unless they’re legally exempt

Try and get out of that covid nazis!
I am a mask exempt optometrist, I would be happy to see you!!
I see what you did there.
