anxious about eye exam

[helenhoo]

I have one due and I'm worrying an from what i can see in past threads it's common so seeking reassurance.

i had a doctor look in my eyes in Feb and someone said they'd have saw anythng worrying. But i have eye dx friday and i havent had one since my anxiety began late last year.

i dont know what im worried about - bad news about swollen eye nerves etc.

They usually say to check your eyes once a year or even less frequently if nothing changes so if you were fine in February then in all likelihood you're fine now.

hello!

the one in Feb was about a suspected eye infection so looking in eye with the onthaalscope still sees back of eye doesn't it? I don't wear glasses! my moms side does and dads doesn't so fine chance I may need to, i only get eye strain occasionally nothing else *knock on wood*

I don't know why they looked in eye but doctor checked pupils and moving and dialation and looked with the shiney light thingymabob.

You sound pretty young so I doubt they brought out all their toys to look at your eyes. They can do all the standard checks in the office and would be able to tell if anything looked even slightly amiss and could order more tests.

I imagine your test will go fine, except maybe you'll need glasses at some point. Not the end of the world though!

When it comes to any health concerns, yes - very.
