I Am Not a Fan of Insurance Companies

I've been looking for an ophthalmologist. I've looked online and have went down the list . Everyone I call are glaucoma specialists. I'm looking to see a general ophthalmologist as I have problems, despite 2 optometrists telling me I don't. So I decide to call the insurance company so that they can give me a good list of ophthalmologists in my area.
I click on the email link they provided with this information and it is the SAME list I've already went thru...😤

Hard to find a general practitioner of anything these days, eyes included. In my area everyone does cataract surgeries mostly. Retina specialist are the hardest to find. The cataract guys usually have a deal worked out with retina guys for referrals. Most of the cataract guys do other things too, like eyelid surgery and lasik. I doubt there are cataract issues at your age, but retinas or other things could be an issue.

@lasergraph Exactly. I hope the retina isn't the issue. Mom had surgery on both of hers

@iamnikki I had 2 retina surgeries on the same eye and cataract in both. Retina is complicated.
