I've been seeing both
Drs Pollack & Jank (retinal specialists) for 2+ years for dry eyes. I noticed about 5 months ago that I was losing both distance & near vision in 1 eye & I was given 3 different prescriptions for glasses that could not bring my vision in that eye up to being able to read those big green overhead street signs!
I was "ping-ponged " between Drs J & P for 5 appointments (plus getting those 3 prescriptions) with no success...so I asked about cataracts & was told by Dr J that I had slow-growing cataracts that didn't need surgery. He finally suggested a 2nd opinion. Husband took me to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute & yes, the cataract in right eye was fine; HOWEVER, in the eye where my ability to see was worsening every visit, I have a FAST-GROWING cataract that's now scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks!!! WHY did Drs J or P NOT check cataract in troubled eye? Thank God I got to the right place & very good Ophthalmologist!
Good luck at Ocala Eye!
