Tony the Tiger gr-r-r-r-r-r-reat, even. *beaming*
It's always a great day, don't you think, when you find out that the
optometrist who told you two years ago that you had two separate
ophthalmologic conditions, either of which would cause you to go blind,
was dead wrong? WHOOHOO!!!!!!!! (I should have figured it out, I
suppose, after I found out that he got my prescription wrong)
As soon as these eye drops wear off, I will be dancing in the streets.

Congratulations, and happy days!!! I see an ophthalmologist, not an
optometrist, which costs more but I think is more reliable. Generally
speaking, though I would think some optometrists are good and some
ophthalmologists are mediocre, as that's how life goes. But even the
word "optometrist" refers to measurements, not diseases.

I personally prefer an ophthalmologist. I've seen to many people with
serious eye problem misdiagnosed by optometrists. I've also seen too
many kids given glasses when they don't need them.Frequently kids who
have reading problems. they end up wearing glasses they don't need or
constantly being harasses by parents and teachers to "wear your glasses"
when they aren't the solution. Ophthalmologists make mistakes too, but
not as frequently. They have a far better understanding of opthalmic
problems.I took a class once for school nurses and heard an
ophthalmologist and optometrist argue over when a child should be
referred for glasses. The ophthalmologist gave a very logical argument.
The optometrist told him he was talking through his hat. The gist was
that the optometrist was selling glasses and was pushing them. Never had
much faith in them after that.

An Opthamologist is an MD. An Optometrist is not. Audrey

I have Kaiser, so I don't have a whole bunch of choice in the matter.
