I came in for a vision exam & new glasses because I broke mine. I explained that I react poorly to dilation, and did not want my eyes dilated. The Doctor said I only had two choices-- dilate or pay $30 extra to have my eyes photographed. He said it's because he was sued years ago (then went on to tell me the entire story.. he also mentioned that the judge in his case told him that in the state of Utah, if you're doing eye exams, you must dilate or photograph or you're liable if the person has a brain tumor..?! Which is inaccurate.)
Sharing the lawsuit story story was unprofessional; if Legacy requires eye dilation for every vision exam they perform, they should explain that it's required at the time of appointment. I've been wearing glasses for 30 years and have never been *forced* to dilate my eyes (or pay extra to opt-out) for a standard vision exam. read more
