Bournemouth-based practitioner Elliott David Bloom will face allegations that he breached section 17 (1) (b) of the 1989 Opticians Act. The basis of the charge is that Mr Bloom's records of sight tests made on November 30, 1999, and on April 18, 2000, were inadequate.
He is alleged to have supplied spectacles which were inappropriate in that they had an unusable amended inset of the bifocal segment on July 4, 2000.
It is also alleged that Mr Bloom claimed on form GOS 3 to have supplied prism controlled bifocals when the spectacles supplied were not as described.
Mr Bloom is additionally charged with failing to adequately test the sight of four patients on January 18, 2001. He is due to appear before the committee on Monday June 16.
