My Son and I went to his I exam this morning. The Dr. took him in the back told me he would be back in 10 minutes and he was.
My questions are first she only had him read the chart with his glasses off. Didn't confirm his vision correction with glasses on. should she have?
Second she asked him if he had a stigmatism. He told he has a mild one-- it is less than 1.00 in each eye. He wears non toric contacts! She never measured anything. Not his glasses for the current script nor did she put lens up to his eyes to confirm. Does the form have a spot for axis?
Third she gave him the Ishihara plates in a room with little light in it. He said he saw numbers but was confident because of the lighting. Her attitude to him was if you don't pass this than you are not going to get in. He is not color blind. Isn't this suppose to be given in daylight?
She did not even speak to him after the exam...just told him to go. Also would not speak to me either, too busy with her one other person who was trying on glasses frames.
So I have a feeling he will need the falant test and I really think she should have measured his eyes with his glasses on and confirmed the size of the stigmatism.
So where can I get the falant done? I'd would like to do this before school starts. I hate to think that the goverment is paying this woman money for what she didn't do.
BTW we are military so I can go to a base it I need to get this test done.
