how old are we?

[Bob Salomon]

70

going blind, now scared of eye doctors too, do they clean their gear well enough? I have worried about the eye pressure thingy for several years

just put a pouch on my porch with 10 loaded film holders for a friend I will never see again face to face, he's moving away

the good old days were last year...

I get my eye exams at the VA and they clean the equipment after each exam. They have been quite through but the exams are done by interns in Opthomology and then a VA Opthomologist checks their result and verifies it. He is usually a local doctor who devotes time to the VA.

My daughter’s sister in law is an Opthomologist with her own large practice and she, and her husband, a private practice Podiatrist always derides the VA specialists but I have had no problems over the past few decades. Except getting continuous trifocals lenses and MC takes some negotiating!
