							The doctor looked at past visits, he was very concerned about some of the changes. He’ll look at pictures he’s taken from past years and wants to do more extensive testing. Very satisfied. I also looked at new glasses so helpful, took the time to let me try on many frames, it was helpful to have a few others there to give their feedback.
