I can relate to the eye tests, pressure readings, and less than kind assistants. I now go to a major eye practice at a large and well-known hospital. When I asked when they were going to take my pressure (waiting for the puffer), they indicated they use only Goldman's Applanation. Surprisingly, it is easily done when the eye is examined with the huge exam contraption in every room where you look through and the doc or assistant looks through. I have had quite a few surgeries on both eyes. I pray yours are being well taken care of. Good eye health to both of us! Thank you for your writings. Fondly, Annie C.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Annie. I'm glad you've found such a good place for your eye care. I love my eye doctor, thank goodness. And I trust the eye surgeon so I think I'll be okay. But this is part of the challenge of living on the Big Island of Hawaii, where the health care can be lacking. Thanks for your support and kind words.
