The guy definitely knows what he's doing. It's still a work in progress, but I'm seeing much better.

This my third time see him. He was more attentive to what I saw him remark about. I still think that scratch back lens is the fault of the Dr. I've heard so many people comment that, what the patient sees is so much more because of the Dr's putting in the new lens and it scratches the membrane lens in the back of the eye. So when we pay for things donne to help see it shouldn't be charged if they have to have you coming to polish it up. We just want see.
