My eye pressure test was done twice. By both tech & doc. Will I be charged twice for this test? Maybe only the doctor should do test, if results are in question by tech.

Dr. Kruthoff was very kind in helping me with an eye infection. He offered several options to help my discomfort, despite it likely caused by a virus.
