No clue. She mumbled something under her breath to the other person. Don't know who he was as she didn't say. Then she said, "as we age we need stronger glasses". I already wear progressive lenses. She did nothing to address what I was there for. Or maybe she did. I'll never know because she didn't say.

Dr. Basith took the time to understand my problem and conducted a variety of tests. She ordered blood tests and indicated the further testing that might be necessary. I appreciated her thorough examination.
