I have this bad habit of alienating doctors with some good reason - I've had some really horrible experiences with doctors. But of course, by doing that, I'm burning a bridge.
I've been seeing an optometrist in my city who has a speciality in dry eyes. When I first began seeing her about a year and a half ago, she seemed really on the ball with wanting to help me. She was the first one who ran any sort of tests on my eyes, spent a lot of time talking to me about options, etc. The last few time I've gone to see her, while she's still as compassionate as ever, I feel like she simply tells me you're eyes are doing great! the last time i saw her she said that i have some dryness around my cornea (this is new). so then how can my eyes be "great" if i'm experiencing new dryness? I'm also pretty sure I have a lacrimal issue in my right eye that cropped up 6 months ago that she just has completely glossed over (well, restasis is your only answer!). *I* had to ask her for the particular test which tests tear flow/production.
Long of the short, I'm getting a little frustrated with her. I'm getting to that point where I can feel myself wanting to say a few "choice words" to her, but that's not going to solve anything. I guess I'm wondering... what can I say to her to make her understand my frustration without alienating her? Or, how can I explain myself so she'll start taking me seriously again?
