My last optometrist appointment was wicked fast. Eye test speed run. I think it took 15 minutes for the examination and the optometrist was using the time it took for a patient’s pupils to dilate in response to those horrid drops to do the initial exam on another patient, so they always had two patients “being seen” at a given time.
Buck wild. Seems like a bad trend for quality care.

On the one hand, yeah holy shit.
On the there, though, eye exams aren’t exactly something that couldnt be administered in a group setting to help speed things along a bit
In my ideal world they’d have a machine for it at Walmart like they do blood pressure that just flips the prescriptive lenses in front of you and asks all the same questions, then sends the results to an optometrist to confirm
I think this is a cross-disciplinary issue.

Agreed.
There’s an argument that more appointment slots means more access but if it’s access to poor quality medicine what’s the point?

Anyone else imagining a Democratic: Does 1 or 2 look better?
Sorry Alex. Looks like everyone else voted 1 so you’re getting the wrong prescription.
