So a few days ago I got this blog registered on google search console to see about getting a bit more traffic and stumbled on an article about this Emmy winning actor Mandy Patinkin who was diagnosed with Keratoconus in 1982 was on Chicago Hope playing the role of a doctor. She was being treated with gas permeable hard contact lenses. One day while driving her instance of the disease progressed to the point where she was too far along for the contacts and didn’t realize it until her cornea ruptured.

This story reminds me of how my situation started off had I have listened to the quack at LensCrafters who wanted me in contacts even though I preferred glasses. The LensCrafters optometrist also didn’t seem to know any proper medical terminology and would only say that I have a wavy cornea. Had I not have gotten a second opinion what happened to Mandy could have easily have happened to me especially when Wolfe Eye Clinic has spotted minor scarring on their initial examination after being referred from my Second opinion Millers Family Eye Care which is where my grandmother went but the location wasn’t ideal.

It is really important that you get a second opinion if you’re ever in doubt or you’re facing something serious doing so could save you so much misery or even your life.
