Any threat to the eyes is probably the most scary thing that can happen.
Went to Baskin Palmer ln West Palm Beach. Perhaps if I went to the Miami one I would have been satisfied.
I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your appointment. You can always get another opinion if you feel uncertain about what you were told.
I hope that you are able to get the information that you need.

Thank you.
I have been to three opthamalogista and have been given 3 different diagnosis. But they all say I will lose my sight. So now the treatment would be the problem. Which will be the correct one. Thank you for caring. I really should go to Manhattan Eye and Ear. Waiting to win the lottery.
@peach414144, I am sorry to read about your unsatisfactory results with no diagnosis. Have you been examined by a Retina Specialist? A retina specialist is trained and experienced for specialized treatment for complicated eye diseases or conditions. I think that you might want to consider getting an appointment with one. I don't know whether you can do it on your own or if you need a referral from your current ophthalmologist. It might be worth a phone call to get the details.
The retina doctors are also able to provide help you to obtain low vision aids so that you can still live independently more easily.

I just can't imagine how difficult and frustrating it is to have 3 different diagnoses. Please keep in touch, I hope you are able to find some answers and treatment.

Yes, I have seen a retinal specialist and was told the retina is fine. Yet I am continuing to lose sight with the glocouma. Three opthamalogists say three different conditions of the gloucoma and three different ways to treat it. Will continue to work on this.
P. S. I should have gone to the Miami Baskin Palmer and not the West Palm Beach one. (It was closer) Money, Money, Money. Pray.

Hello @peach414144
Thank you for mentioning your upcoming appointment. I hope that you gain some helpful information and help. I was not familiar with Baskin Palmer, but I see that it is a premier eye institute in Florida.
I look forward to hearing from you after your appointment.
