Fees are too high(Pretoria, 2020-03-06)

I feel the fees are not in line with other comparable disciplines such as physiotherapy. I do feel however that the statement "However, if this petition is not accepted, Optometrists will continue to feel abused by the controversially ineffective healthcare system set in place in our country" is unfortunate.(WATERKLOOF RIDGE, 2020-03-06)

The amount is too much when you compare to the salary that we get.(Johannesburg, 2020-03-09)

My salary per month, as a part time locum, is minimal. I cannot afford the same fees as a Doctor or a specialist. I feel as students we were seen or rated as the same as fisiotherapists and Occupational therapists. We at least need to pay the same fees as them, and not more!(Stellenbosch, 2020-03-10)

An almost 20% increase in annual fees from last year to this is inexplicable. This is very obviously blatant exploitation.(Johamnesburg, 2020-03-10)

I am an Optometrist & agree that Optometrists should not be charged this much by HPCSA while other primary practitioners are paying way less.(Durban, 2020-03-11)

Fees are not appropriately calculated! How can we pay the same as dentists and drs who def make much more(Jhb, 2020-03-11)

I think that Optometrists are charged a lot of fees by HPCSA in comparison to other primary practitioners, being in the same ranks as Dentists and GPs means we get the same income and that is not true. Optometrists are paid way less(DURBAN, 2020-03-12)

fees are too exorbitant need to fall(pietermaritzburg, 2020-03-12)

Hmmm, I say this with all due respect, I feel it is really unfair that us as Optometrists have to pay one of the highest in professional fees, compared to other health/medical(Primary) practitioners. As well as feel we taken lightly and have to accept this in injustice of higher fees with marginly steeper price hikes each and every year.(Johannesburg, 2020-03-12)

The registration fee is too high and as an optometrist in the public health where we are not paid the same as other supplementary health professionals who are being paid rural allowances and scare scarce skills allowances.(Polokwa, 2020-03-13)
