Trusting tech and your instincts
A few months ago I was supervising a 5th year optometry student’s primary care clinic. It was a simple dry eye follow up. The patient Josh (not his real name) was a 26-year-old male economics student, who one could say erred on the side of being a pedantic hypochondriac. Nevertheless, the persisting ‘glare’ and ’ghosting’ in his left eye, even after managing his nocturnal lagophthalmos and uncorrected astigmatism, piqued my interest.
