Although that was nice to hear, I had to ask if there was a prescription for new glasses - did my eyes change from last year? Only at that point did he mention I could pick up a prescription on my way out --- and that it hadn't changed too much. I wasn't impressed.

Is this typical?

I think you must be prepared, when visiting any doctor, with questions that you want answered. Time is money to them and if you don't ask, they will move on.
My doctor at Ocala Eye in TV will spend as much time as needed to answer my questions. Talking about golf or the weather, not so much. I am satisfied with my care.
