Looking for a specialist...
in Health ·
I really need to get my eyes checked—dealing with myopia and astigmatism, and it’s been way too long since my last exam. I definitely need some new glasses.
I'm looking for recommendations for a solid ophthalmologist because I refuse to deal with those rushed doctors who just crank out a prescription in five minutes like they're trying to clear a crowded waiting room.
Should I bother getting a referral from my primary care doctor and heading to a hospital?
If so, which one would you suggest?
Or would it be smarter to just book a private appointment with a specialist?
Where should I go?
And which optical shops actually know what they're doing?
To be honest, I've had a few bad experiences where the lenses they made were totally off regarding my astigmatism angle, and I am absolutely not looking to repeat that headache!
Thanks!
