I have been to the eye doctor, for a routine checkup. All is well, and I don't need a new eyeglass prescription. (A relief, as bifocals are not cheap.)

If you haven't been in a few years, note that they can now check for glaucoma without blowing a painful puff of air at you.

Oh, lovely!

How?

As of last year they were still doing this at my eye doctor, so possibly they just don't have the new gadgetry yet.

I'm not sure of how it works technologically: what I know is that it's part of the "now put your chin here and look into this" set-up that my eye doctor uses for lots of things.

If you're in a mood to switch doctors, he's at 30 E. 40th Street in Manhattan. Gerard Schiller (and Debra Guthrie, but I always see Dr. Schiller, because he's the one who was in the first time I needed them), 212-685-1232, takes most if not all insurance.

Thanks! I'll see if he takes mine.
