I have a rather unique situation with my vision that presents much risk. Its rather rare and there isn't a lot of information about it. I've been examined by top neuro ophthalmologists at Mass Eye and Ear, Tufts, Johns Hopkins and Bascom Palmer. And Dr. Armstrong projects as much, or more, knowledge about my situation as any of them. And her bedside manner is excellent. She gave my wife and me a full hour to ask all our questions. And her answers were concise and easy to understand. Because of risk, I've waited eight years to have much needed cataract surgery on my one functional eye. My wife and I have decided that Dr. Armstrong will perform the surgery. And no matter how it turns out, we are convinced that Dr. Armstrong will give us the best probability of success.
She was very thorough and explained what was going on with my vision and we have a game plan going forward.
