Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 What a thorough eye doc! it wounds like quite an extensive exam. It makes me wonder if I would look into a new eye doc. I like the guy I see, and I had felt like he was pretty thorough, but when I went last time, with blurred vision in my right eye and problems with my eye no opening properly upon blinking, he was clueless. Thanks for the info. wrote: I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 , I had always gone to the 'quickie eye exam - get glasses' type of place but several years ago my insurance company insisted that if they were going to pay for it, it had to be a " real " doctor. That is when I found this particular eye doctor close to home. He has always used the computer aided exams. The first time I saw him, I thought it was a gimic but NOW I'm glad he does it. I forget the brand name of it but it uses a camera that takes a picture of the inside of your eye in 1/4 of a second and a series of computerized test stations. Then there are a variety of filters (on his computer) he uses that will show such things as glaucoma, even diabetes. It was interesting to look at and felt thorough, but now I know I have MS, seems much more important. At least it is to me. I found it interesting that he diagnosed a " demyelinating disease " (after I had the same thing from the MRI results), but before seeing the specialist for my diagnosis. I suggest you call around and ask if they have computer aided eye exams, if you are going to change doctors. Dr. Jaffe has OD, PS after his name (he's an optometric physician), if that helps.
