Should I trust my new eye doctor?

Question

I went in for a routine eye check up. I wear contact lenses because my eyes are not that great.

But this time when I went in I had to be seen by a new doctor.

She didn't even ask if I had contacts on, but she checked my eyes anyway, she said "Ohh your eyes are perfect."

But then I had to tell her about my contacts.

When I asked if she could just write me a prescription for my same lens power, she said she wanted to check without them on.

When she checked she said my eyes changed a "tiny bit" and that she had to give me a new lens power. I asked for some glasses too.

When I tried them on today, it felt like the power was too strong.

Is it just me getting used to my glasses/lens power or did my new doctor make a mistake?

Answer 1

Sshe failed her patient completely.  She has a lot to learn before she is ready to take on the responsibility of anybodys vision.  Turn her in to the licensing board.

Answer 2

Try the new ones for a few days and if you aren't happy call the doctor.  Some doctors guarantee the glasses / prescription for a week or so.  

Didn't your new doctor do a close exam with a light to check your eye health???  I think a good eye doctor would have checked your eyes and seen you were wearing your contacts.

Answer 3

Not all doctors are great. One of my freinds once had this dentist who put kids who cried to much in a straight jacket so she could clean their teeth (and she would say "pretend the brush is motorcycle on your teeth", and then she got mad when a kid said "why would I want a motorcycle running over my face?")- this sounds a bit far fetched but it's 100% true.

I would get a new doctor. Lord knows where the h**l that doctor went to school , but Im guessing it was next to a Wal-mart...if she didn't attend school at Walmart, anway.

Your doctor made a careless error and shouldn't be trusted.

Answer 4

that all sounds odd.

i'd get a different doctor.
