MD couldn't pinpoint a diagnosis. Sent me back to see a glaucoma specialist in my area to rule out glaucoma. I would have thought that specialist would have been available for consult at the Moran Eye center! But, then it was after 5pm when all tests were done. Dr. Crum and the team were very kind, attentive. Sadly, not able to get a diagnosis at the Moran Eye Center.
