He scheduled surgery for me. I decided to go back to Dr. Barr to examine my eyes to evaluate my condition. He told me there was a tiny cataract and my vision was almost 20/20. He said you will not live long enough to need a cateract operation. I then went to another opthalmologist who said, You do not need cateract surgery. Your vision is almost 20/20. Besides being a great doctor he could not be nicer. My husband feels the same way. We have been going to him for over 10 years. Further his office assistants are lovely and very helpful.

I did wonder if all the procedures were neseccary or if they were done for an upcharge. Didn't give 5 stars because I wasn't sure what I was paying for while purchasing my glasses and I wish they had been more mindful of my budget and stirred in that direction.

My issue is the way I was treated on my last visit by his assistant after it became apparent to her that I would not be buying frames or lenses from the practice. Her attitude immediately changed when I asked for a prescription. She stood up, went to ring up my copayment, and when she returned with the prescription she remained standing and was abrupt with me when I asked her to explain the change in my prescription, which was in a format I was not familiar with based on what I received in prior visits. I'm an educated person who wants to know how things work and what numbers actually mean, not merely to be told that "any qualified optician will understand" the prescription. I was made to feel stupid and like I was an imposition so I left and fed the prescription into ChatGPT which politely explained it to me, including how a progressive prescription can be translated into single vision distance and reading prescriptions, and what the numbers mean. AI was more polite and patient with me than the assistant. Despite having no issues with the doctor himself, I will not be returning to this practice in the future. The barriers between patients and medical information are evaporating due to AI. Doctors would be well advised to ensure that they and their staffs at least match the courtesy of ChatGPT. Update: In response to Dr. Glasser's comment, all I can say is that it would have taken his assistant less than a minute to sit down and politely explain to me the meaning of the numbers. Regardless of whether I'm dealing with an optometrist or a cardiologist, I take it upon myself to gain a thorough understanding of my heath, which is what ChatGPT provided and the assistant did not. If the doctor doesn't want to take constructive feedback on such a simple point, then I suppose that my decision to go elsewhere is the right one.
