Thanks for the reminder. I had a reminder card from my Dr. last month but forgot to set up an appt.
I had the beginnings of a cataract last year that bears watching.
Hope you have insurance.
I go once a year. I got baby bifocals last year. This year I can tell an unfortunate difference in distance clarity. It might be time to touch up my lasik finally.
I opt for the eye coverage. It's supposed to cover a new pair of glasses every year but I haven't used that feature yet.Hope you have insurance.

They can do that?

I need to go desperately

Dana Elcar, Pete from MacGuyver, lost his eyesight to glaucoma. They wrote it into the show.One thing I cannot emphasize enough. Go annually as you get close to 50 and beyond, if for no other reason to let them test the pressure in your eyes. Pressure in your eyes (that you can’t feel) is glaucoma and will kill the optic nerve, which blinds you. My mom found out the hard way.

That's a good point. A couple forums ago there was a member named @eyefly who is an optometrist here in Charlotte. I went to him for years and was very happy. He had to refer me to CEENTA for something and those goobers wrote me the worst scrip - couldn't see right, headaches, etc. and the doctor about dropped his clipboard when I asked him to write a special Rx for shooting glasses. I quit CEENTA and am very happy with my gun nut eye-doc. PM me if you want a referral - I won't dox him in the open forum.I've seen 4 different eye dr's in ~ 8 years and have been quite displeased. The Rx is always off (too strong),

My dad is scheduled for Glaucoma surgery on the 17th. They are using some relatively new procedure placing a micro drain inside the eye to regulate the pressure. The Dr. said that she would attempt it but if it got too complicated she would back out and use a more traditional technique.My wife was diagnosed with glaucoma last year, 41. Said she probably had it for many many years. But her eye pressure was within normal standards. She had migraines since law school and could never figure out why. This random eye dr sent her to a specialist who confirmed it. When she started her eye drops her migraines when from everyday to maybe once a month.
The wife's said laser surgery was an option in the future. Basically all they do is burn a drain hole in dummy talk.My dad is scheduled for Glaucoma surgery on the 17th.

I go yearly. I'm wearing daily contacts these days. Just had a new set of glasses and sunglasses made last month. I'm to the point that I "almost" need cheaters to read small stuff when I have my contacts in.
