| - I have been to several different eye doctors, and this was my least favorite by far. Not only was there a long wait, but some people aren't very nice here. Went in, filled out my paperwork, and was taken back to do the "mandatory" tests. Told the woman doing them that I did not want to do the test where they blow air into my eyes. She said, "unfortunately, that test is required. So you have to do it". I told her that I'd never been forced to do that test. I've told every other place that I didn't want to do it and they told me it was fine, that if the doctor felt something was wrong they would numb my eyes with drops and probe them. The lady insisted she'd never heard that and I absolutely had to do it. We tried, I couldn't keep my eyes open (like I told her). She then told me "well, the doctor can do it but he will literally tape your eyes open for it". I thought she was joking, as that's completely bizarre, but she told me she was serious. What? The doctor would tape my eyes open over a test that I've been able to deny for years? I got really upset over this. After completing the two tests that I consented to, I waited in the doctor's office for almost an hour to be called back to do the actual exam. No one was in the waiting room with me so I'm not sure what took so long. My appointment was at 11:45 am and I wasn't seen until almost 1:00 pm.
