Stockton-on-Tees optometrist Alan Young has been given a 12-month conditional registration order after a GOC fitness to practise committee found him guilty of misconduct.
It was alleged that in 2011, Young failed to carry out or record the details of a routine eye exam and contact lens aftercare. It was also alleged that he agreed to supply or order contact lenses without an in-date Rx and took a £110 payment for contact lenses which were never dispensed.
