The doctor didn't explain my eyeglasses prescription to me beyond to tell me that I could choose whether or not to get bifocals. It was my first time getting glasses so I would have liked more information about what the numbers meant, and how one eye could be both myopic and presbyopic. I figured it out with Google later on, but I would have liked his explanation. Especially since my dilated eyes couldn't read any of the stuff he sent with me, until a few hours later, at which time I had already ordered my new glasses. I did appreciate that after the exam he told me that my eyes were healthy, and that my vision changes are probably due to normal aging rather than some disease.

I hadn't worn contacts in years and he didn't ask if I wanted monthly or daily contacts or trials. He just wrote me an Rx for 2 week contacts without discussing it with me which was super disappointing especially since I paid extra for a contact Rx. He only asked about what cleaning solution I used and recommended a different brand.

Came in specifically for a ocular migraine/vision problems associated with this. I was told very little about what could be causing these headaches and no information about treatment. The doctor told me to just "go see your primary care provider". Other than receiving a prescription for glasses I didn't get a whole lot out of this visit.

I have an allergy to the cleaning products used in clinics/hospitals. The Provider I saw was very compassionate and kind, wiping down everything with alcohol wipes and then wet paper towels to try and remove the cleaner. It's the first time I haven't had an allergic reaction in a clinic in 6 months. Thank you!

The appointment went somewhat ok. I felt like I did not have the Doctors full attention during my visit. He was on a call with his family and their missionary. I hope that my prescription is good and my lenses fit well because I had to ask for a coronial topography, which is a normal procedure for somebody with Keratoconus that hasn't been in for 4 years :(

Dr. McKay was very nice and showed sincere concern while working with me. My prescription changed a little, and it would have been helpful if he had explained to me why at the time of the visit. He did meet with me for a follow-up, and he was very helpful in adjusting my lenses.

He did not discuss treatment with me at all. Sent me out with a prescription for glasses with no guidance on what to do with it. I have never had a prescription for glasses so I was not sure about what to do about follow up. The tech did explain all this to me but I was surprised the provider did not.
