teachers of the blind and visually impaired who teach students with additional
disabilities. I am trying to locate an opththalmologist or low vision
optometrist with experience in condducting an eye exam and writing eye reports
for a few students with additional disabilities with a visual impairment. The
insurance is mmedicaid. I am looking for the above specialist in <?xml:namespace
