That would be totally unprofessional, but it is what it is.
Usually they're in a hurry to get a patient out, so they can get to the next one, so if he spent an unusual amount of time chatting you up, he's probably interested. If I tell someone they're interesting, it means I'm interested.
BTW, if he's looking for signs of glaucoma, he will do that with one of the specialized tools in his office (and that's usually part of the exam). Playing detective is not part of any optometrist exam I've ever experienced.

@Northwest I guess he’s quirky and maybe a little bit lonely. He’s always been fun, and I guess I’ve seen him once a year. My experiences with doctors, both male and female, they tend to develop a certain level of rapport with me, and I them.Even my PT says, look forward to seeing you next time, and we view each others dog photos. I guess I’m peaked by my optometrist because I happen to find him so attractive that I’m surprised he MIGHT find me attractive. I usually am just myself. I don’t want to flatter myself if he was just being friendly. But sadly he’s divorced now, and that might make him behave a little more lonesome. As usual, I’d love to introduce him to my best friend who is incredible AND single.
Okay, back to work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve known him 20 years.
