Who is "we"? I cannot find a link to a discussion about COVD not being a medical assocaion. However, COVD does fit almost every element desribed in Medical association. --Natebw 00:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"We" is you and I. You said on my talk page: "It would seem quite absurd to categorize the American Academy of Optometry under Ophthalmolgy, for example. Likewise, there would be sufficient distinction to seperately categorize Optometry from Opticianry." Are you stating that optometry doesn't fall under ophthalmology but it falls under medicine?

OK. I am following you now. What I am saying is that Optometry falls under "ophthalmology" (general discription of the study of the eye) but not "Ophthalmology" (specific medical discipline). I assumed that the category was the latter, based on the capital O. Am I wrong?
