Default Total faith in my optometrist

I in no way dispute your post and you have probably made the correct decision for you. But I have been seeing the same optometrist for a very long time and have total confidence he would have found your condition. His exams are long, thorough, and detailed. An ophthalmologist may or may not give me the same amount of time and attention. I think you may simply have had a poor optometrist.

I have had exactly one medical exam since moving to TV. The doctor completely and totally sucked. I would have gotten a better exam from a nurse. Attitude is a huge factor, possibly more than training that makes a good doctor.
