The doctor came in while I was looking at the picture on the computer of my eye. He asked me if I knew what I was looking at. And I told him no, so he took the time to explain everything. And then he asked me if I thought there was any progression from last year to this year On comparison. And I had told him no. Anyway, long story short. He included me in the diagnosis and explained everything to me.Very well
