I have seen (and been seen by) the eye doctor. He confirmed what Dr. Umlas said a few weeks ago. So, he did a laser procedure, and I have a follow-up appointment next month. And I am getting more prescription eye drops.
( more details about eye treatment, nothing graphic )
The only person I saw wearing a mask, other than me and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude, was Dr. Lazzara. On the other hand, the assistant who looked at my eyes first didn't ask me to remove the mask, just to slide the top down by a millimeter or so, to avoid blocking her view of the eye. Dr. Lazzara taped my mask in place before we went downstairs to the room with the laser, for similar reasons. I had already noticed that he had taped the top of his own mask in place.
The follow-up appointment will also have to be in Lexington, because the doctor is only in Arlington one day a week and didn't have any openings in the right time frame. But they had an appointment available at 1 p.m., not 11 a.m. (or 9:15), so I can plausibly do that trip by transit, and eat lunch en route, weather permitting. Today has been rainy, not surprising, but cooler than I expect in Boston It was raining and 68F/20C when we left the house at 10:00, and about the same now.
