Thank you for raising awareness of this issue and the need for consistent feedback on optometric referrals. Many years ago I performed an internal practice audit on my own referrals. I received feedback on about 25% (almost all from just a couple of ophthalmologists).

There is no room for risk when it comes to eye health. The expertise of a qualified, registered ECP is pivotal to safe care. Unscrupulous practice by retailers who sidestep requirements threatens public health and undermines the crucial role of ECPs.
