  5. Excellent. I was given a very thorough and unhurried review of my condition. I felt very comfortable.

  7. The technician, the resident and the neuro ophthalmologist all did a great job. The resident did not wear an ID badge, so I did not catch his name, I thought that Dr.Farlardeau was excellent, and offered a low level prism to try on one eyeglass lens. So far it has been helpful for driving and distance. I will return on Monday to get a prism on at least one other pair of glasses. I am very active and drive distances for hiking and cycling, so I need reliable glasses for these activities. I am glad to know that this is not a neurological problem, which had me very concerned.
