CASA have clamped down. I don't know why DAMEs still do it. Very frustrating for them at times!
That's one of the reasons many doctors are bailing out of this nonsense.
If you're stupid enough not to have an available spare to your current prescription in the aircraft, how does making you front a DAME periodically change that? When an FOI does a ramp check, how does he or she know that the spare you are carrying is your current prescription?
Surely we need to mandate the carriage of opticians on all flights?
