Eye doctor dilemma. #uronenamillion

So Judy is in the doctor's office now, and being checked to see if she has BELL'S PALSY. The good news? She does not have bells palsy. The doctor seems to think she has something called 4th nerve palsy. It's a condition where the patient's eye does something called down gazing. Another sign of 4th nerve palsy is the patient will tend to close one eye while reading.

Well our family doctors office sent Judy to another eye doctor who specializes in retina eye care in our hometown and as luck would have it she could get an appointment the next day, but it would have to be with the assistant.  The main doctor did however did agree to poke his head in during the appointment.  Something is better than nothing, she just wanted to stop seeing double.

The assistant did their assignment and decided Judy needed not just one but two prisms in her glasses -3.0. That would fix her double vision she was told. Judy got a new glasses prescription, this time with prisms was sent on her way.


So now she has two different prescriptions for glasses both with prisms. One from the first eye doctor at shopko, and this last doctor. She was not happy about wearing prisms, but if it helps she thought she  would give it try. 

Judy managed to contact shopko before they processed her first prescription so she told them about the to new one she had just received,  thinking maybe they could just switch them out. NOT QUITE. The first eye doctor did not agree with the second eye doctors assessment. The first eye doctor refused to make the new doctor’s order. “I stand behind my assessment”, the first eye doctor said.  So now it’s doctor against doctor, and who is right and who is wrong.  But what about Judy's vision.


Judy finally got Shopko to agree that bringing in the new prescription was no different than bringing in a prescription from any other eye doctor, they do it all the time.  So why are they making  an exception this time?  Even though we knew it was because the doctor had their feeling hurt.


Judy Received her new glasses after waiting about a week and a half and was excited about finally getting some much needed relief, even though she was not thrilled about having PRISMS in her glasses.     Follow along with our story, follow along with our journey. #uronenamillion
