Katie, it sounds like you have the same optholmologist I had for a few months. I felt just like you and he actually told me he’d never help me – he said I wasn’t “bad enough” even though I was in extreme pain, couldn’t drive anymore, couldn’t see the biggest E on the chart, etc., etc. I fought for a new optholmologist at my HMO and ended up with a really caring one who’s done a lot for me. Take care.
