He was excellent.
While there is one more test they are running for temporal arteritest (results later today), since the stupid ER did not run the right blood test, he is very sure it is 6th Nerve Palsy. (I'll let you look it up, it's kind of long.) The upshot is it should heal by itself and in the meantime I have an appointment tomorrow with another of their specialists to get prisms put on my glasses so i can finally see what TV looks like.
Thanks again, and wish me luck.

I have really serious eye problems and for decades have been in the care of a notable group of MDs in Boston. (My primary ophthalmologist there, whom I'm still angry at because he had the nerve to die, granted he was 94, but he was still my doctor, was named one of the top ten physicians in the WORLD of the 20th century!) However, I knew I needed competence here, searched around, and settled on Ocala Eye.
I have two specialists there for two different issues: Dr. Morris for glaucoma and Dr. Samy for a retinal issue to which I have already lost one eye. My wife uses Dr. El Mallah. We both could not be more pleased! You've made the right choice, though I should add that there may be other equally competent practitioners out there. Good luck!
