Hmm...with all you have going on, you might need a specialized eye clinic, one with specialists who see this wide variety of conditions.
My own ophthalmologist is very careful, very thorough, and listens well, so I am staying with her, but with glaucoma, still-maturing cataracts, dry eye and a history of Graves disease and retinal injuries, when she retires (coming in a few years) I will transition to specialty care because the other docs in our large clinical group are not quite as good. I believe they are overloading the docs with patients, and she has the seniority, clout, and patient following to push back and not get fired.
Depending on where you are, there may be a group like the one I will go to, which is the Phillips Eye Institute in Minneapolis. Do you know if there is a resource like this you can get to?
