Question:
How much would it cost to see an Opthamologist ?
I have decided to see an opthamologist for my eye conerns, but i live in Conneticut and i don't know of any opthamologist's office around and i have absolutley no idea of how much it costs.
Answers:
here in britain it costs £25 to have an eye check up from an optometrist who 'measures' your eyes but sometimes these guys are also qualified opthamologists who specialise in eye conditions generally;whatever the borderline is between these two,a standard eye check will include an examination of the back of the eye to see if there are changes to the retina due to diabetes and i expect they are also trained to test for pressure changes in the eye due to glaucoma;this is where they blow air onto the eye and i suppose they also look for cataracts;these eye tests are free for many people and take about thirty minutes and i suppose your doctor should be able to diagnose conjunctivitis
at any rate you should be testing your eyes every year as early indicators of retinal damage can enable to control blood pressure
