My husband had a eye doctor appointment on Monday, I went with him and waited in the Lobby for him. I normally don’t go with him to his doctor appointment but he was worried they might need to dilate his eyes which would make it hard for him to drive. He didn’t tell me this before going so I would be prepared but that okay, don’t have to do much to drive a car then have your license with you.
Well my husband eye doctor was talking to him about his eye pressure. High eye pressure is a signs of Glaucomas, which in the long run makes a person blind. My husband wanted her to explain to me what she had told him, and explain it to me. My husband thinks I am intelligent when it comes to medical problems you’d think I was a doctor. The doctor briefly told me what was going on, but not a whole lot more then that. I know what Glaucoma is but I do not know what it is. I do know if it goes on treated and sometimes even with it being treated it can lead to blindness. Maybe this is something I will need to start researching depending on what the specialist says. She has referred my husband to a specialist okay that not to hard to handle but money wise it probably going to kill us.
I honestly think the his doctor should have explained more to us, gave us some reading material to help us understand better what may be going on with my husband. I was speaking with my husband when I realize that the doctor didn’t exactly explain a whole lot to us, and pretty much nothing to me. Okay I am not to upset about it, most doctors unless your in the room at the same time don’t repeat a bunch of stuff. Fine no big deal. While talking to my husband it seems like he knows just a little more then I do, which isn’t exactly good. He has had this concern for quite awhile so his eyes need to be checked yearly and they haven’t been checked for 2 years. The doctor did say his eye pressure being high may be normal for him, okay that could be true, because not everyone is the same.
Well we got done with that and it was time to start looking for glasses. I think our lady who was helping us did a very good job, she worked with my husband. We are on a tight budget and he was looking at the cost. We ended up getting one transition and one plain, the only reason why we could do this is she gave us some off on one set of classes. I was happy she did that for my husband, because we where trying to figure out how he could have the transition eyeglasses with out spending close to 300$
I believe for the most they did a good job of taking care of my husband. The person who I feel did the best was the eyeglass adjuster the one who helps you pick out what is the best glasses for you. She did a good job of letting my husband look for what he wanted on his own, and helped him make decisions when it came to the time to choose.
I would say overall the service was pretty good. The only room for improvement is that the doctor should have either came and got me before she began speaking to my husband or proved us with more information.
