The doctor was much more open to my questions and concerns at this appointment, than he was last year. He realized my concerns and reassured me, my eye problem could be resolved as much as possible for the diagnosis. He suggested several solutions to help with the issue of dry eyes.

He helped me before with a diabetes related issue, so I didn't hesitate to see him for allergies around my eyes. He listened well and treated my concerns with care.
