I may have been misdirected to this site. I googled “optometry forums” and up came this message - I think the title was something like “I hate optometry” and after I read it, I went and turned cartwheels across the front lawn.

Then I came back in and registered, going through the ever-increasing argue-bargle it takes to join an online groups.

I cannot find the message that attracted me and it seems that this is a general info board, not optometry.

I am going blind and my ophthalmologist won’t help. I’m on my own.

My doctorate is pharmacology; I don’t know much about optometry or ophthalmology or optometry.

For now, I’m moving this to our IMHO forum. Depending on what the OP wishes to discuss, it may be moved elsewhere later.
