Very good overall. Did not know that the right eye was to be worked on at this visit. My hearing loss in my right ear due to my Menieer's disease, and low battery in the hearing aid at my previous visit, definitely contributed to my misunderstanding. The eye pressure readings for my glaucoma were both at 14. So, it appears I may not need the procedure for the right ear. Will soon get glaucoma readings retaken. Just to be sure.
