Mom's cataracts doctor is a really wonderful Portuguese man. He understands immigrants & was very kind to my Mom. Dr. Pedago is one of the best doctors we have encountered in many years. Mom said - He has kind eyes/excellent human energy. I'm very grateful that we got him with a referral. I like to give credit, when it's truly due, to medical professionals, who treat their immigrant patients well. I notice it & also notice when some doctors have displayed bigoted behaviours towards immigrants (who aren't fully literate, like Mom). Real glad that I had no reasons to draw out my defensive tiger daughter claws, today 🐯

*Avoid Victoria Eye Clinic (it's horrible) if possible. Ask for referral to Dr. Pedago, if you need cataracts.*

Spinning around an #anatomical model of human #eye. At cataracts doctor office.
About to leave now.

The doctor & 2 assistants who worked with us for almost 2 hours were good about wearing masks for Mom's appointment 😷

Not sure how well this experience translates across the generations, but one thing that always makes me laugh after seeing an #EyeDoctor for an #eye exam is how those #dilating eyedrops makes *everything* appear like a beautiful woman onscreen in #StarTrek #TOS.

Still using artificial tears every day but eyes still dry or irritated?

πŸ’§ Drops give quick reliefβ€”but they don’t fix the root cause if your dry eye is from inflammation.

That’s where cyclosporine eyedrops come in, such as Restasis , Cequa , or the newest one, Vevye. They control the inflammation.

Thank you to the MANY people that donated to help me get new glasses.  

Also, thank you to those that suggested sites to help me find an affordable, quality pair.

I was able to get not one but TWO pairs of glasses due to the BOGO+ 20% off lenses on FIRMOO. Total was $111 USD for the glasses, the appointment was roughly $40 USD.

Next is to try and go to the dentist!

Van Gogh wasn't big on ear health, but he never missed an eye appointment. I got checked out, bought contacts, and waded through the glasses. I STILL need to replace my college frames and lenses.
