I finally made it into Vision 20/20 to get my prescription filled, now that I have passed Dr. Young’s eye exam and am on vitamin regimentation to slow down the macular degineration.
Dra. Ines said she wanted to check my eyes again to see if there had been any change since my last visit, where she [...]

Yesterday was my followup visit to have the results from my Panama City examination reviewed by Dr. Young.
I should mention, that you need to prepare yourself when you go for some doctor’s appointments. Dr. Young is a highly recognized doctor and when he is in David, he always has a lot of people to see. [...]

I really did not know what to expect on the eye exam. Had I known more about it, I would have [...]

Last Friday, I went to see Dra. Inés to replace some lenses that are cracked and I expect to break any day. However, when she checked my eyes, she told me I needed to see a ophthalmologist, because my left eye looked a little strange.

Yesterday, I went with Dr. Sussan and her daughter, Sofia, to visit friends at Optica Lopez. Dr Sussan used to be the doctor you would see, if you went to have your vision checked. It was on one such a visit, that I got to meet this group of young ladies, excluding Martha.
Optica Lopez was [...]

If you are fortunate enough to get by Optica Lopez this morning, then you will be able to see Dr. Sussan. She will be there for four hours only. I would have notified you sooner, but I just learned that she would be working today.

My glasses needed a slight adjustment and a cleaning so I went to Optica López today. I happened to be there when the Owner, Oscar López, was there and I got to meet him. I took a photo of Oscar with his David staff.
Carla did an outstanding job on my glasses and after the cleaning [...]
