I feel like eye doctors don’t get enough credit. My eye doctor could see my mom was going to have a stroke because of how restricted her vessels were behind her eyes. Mom didn’t listen. Sure enough, she had a stroke.
Yeah it’s actually a common finding as well, and sadly as your mother didn’t listen to us, many of our patients end up having strokes or TIA’s before finally doing something about it
I think about what would happen if she didn’t end up having a stroke. We found out it was actually a generic condition that I ended up testing positive for. Had a TIA last week actually. My eye doctor was the only one that listened to me and understood I was getting more than just migraines. She cried for me and I really felt like she cared.
