Health care is the art of choosing the most appropriate scientific methods to address each and every unique problem. Treatment is not an assembly line process. The choice of diagnostic optic tests and treatment modalities will vary from practitioner to another based on training, knowledge, and experience. !0 practitioners in a room = 20 different choices.
