This was my first time at this eye doctor. So no one told me I wouldn’t be able to drive home. I ve never had my eyes dialated so I didn’t know I couldn’t drive home. No one asked if I had a ride so I drove home with blurry vision and almost wrecked. I would have appreciated someone even offering me a pair shades or at least a warning. It was very dangerous and I felt no one in that office even cared.
