After seeing Dr. Griffin, we talked about the types of moisturizing drops I should use for both of my eyes. I was provided with recommended drops I should consider....which was helpful. When I checked out, I was give a paper for a "prescription", which I thought might be a prescription for moistening my eyes. When I got home and reviewed the information last night, I see this is what appears to be a prescription for eye glasses. Neither the doctor nor any of the staff mentioned anything like that to me. Dr. Griffin specifically stated that all looked well and would see me again in one year. Yet, I still have this unexplained prescription. Is it a prescription for "readers" or a prescription for glasses to be worn all of the time? Am very confused. I reached out to the office and apparently there is an answering service that heard my issues, said she would reach out to the office, and someone would be in touch.

She did not use gloves and touched my eyeball multiple times with her finger after knowing I was susceptible to infection. Her assistant also did not use gloves to put the eye drops in and touched my eyeball multiple times. I asked if they used gloves and she said yes, then they did not. The assistant only used gloves after I asked her to. Then Nigenda came in and didn’t use any gloves. I was totally infuriated and grossed out. Will never come back here.
