Saw ophthalmologist due to light flickers, exam normal, retinas ok. dr said f/up in 3 wks in case it is start of something, how much should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry: With the normal exam, you can be assured. But f/up as instructed. If there was something more occurring, the Dr would not have you wait for 3 weeks to f/up.
