Hi Darlene,

     In the last year and a half, I have been to multiple vision
specialists.  The first, barely spoke English, and interrupted me
frequently.  After an MRI, he just wanted me to come back every two months.

We went to a low vision clinic, where I was diagnosed legally blind.  This
doctor, a female, listened to every symptom, and did many tests of varying
types.

She sent me to a neuroophthalmologist to get more tests done to determine a
diagnosis.  For some reason, his staff chose not to copy the records they
were given, so he had no records.  He didn't have time to listen to
symptoms.  Once a month, I had to go in for different types of ERGS.  At the
follow up, six months later, he let a doctor in training, who never looked
at my records, my vision field, or heard my symptoms, decide I had nothing
wrong with my eye.

We went to another  neuroophthalmologist with high hopes.

This creep never called me by name, called me a liar, and refused to hear
any symptoms.  I did manage to get out the white flashes with the black
spot, and vision loss in the lower quadrant.  He said it was false, and
people over 40 see white spots all the time.

I'm done with eye specialists in this state!
