Dr Wells spent only a few minutes talking to me at the end of my appointment. She said that my eye looked fine and when I complained about pain in the eye she said that the gel used during the ultrasound was causing it. She did not tell me of any way to relieve the pain, or how long the pain would persist. In fact, my eye was bruised and painful for at least 36 hours and my vision was blurry for longer than that. |
