From the internet: "Generally, not wearing sunglasses after dilation can lead to discomfort and…read morepotentially harmful effects on the eyes. Specifically, patients may experience increased sensitivity to light, which can cause headaches, eye strain, and even temporary blindness in extreme cases." Every eye doctor I have been to who dilated my eyes for an exam gave me very dark glasses with blinders on each side to wear after leaving. This doctor just let me leave the office with an old pair of my own sunglasses; very careless and cavalier. The next day--headache; extreme sensitivity to light. Seems like he could care less. ANd this after telling me I had the beginnings of macular degeneration.

From the onset, the office staff was not on top of it and not welcoming. When I arrived, they spoke…read moreto me with barely any eye contact. This was my first visit with Kyle Smith. He greeted me curtly and started the exam with barely an introduction, explanation or any health history. He seemed to be in a hurry. The culminating incompetence was he asked if I wanted my eyes dilated and explained that I would have blurry vision for 4 hours. I very clearly declined saying I had to drive south to Mendocino and drive children around. He said no problem he would numb them with drops to examine them. I felt weird immediately after the drops and asked if I could be having a reaction. He invalidated my symptoms and was super cavalier and dismissive. He sent me on my way immediately and said I should feel fine in 10 minutes. I sat in my car for 20 minutes and still could not read the time or text on my cell phone. I returned to the office to inquire what was going on. After seeing my pupils, he replied, "Son of a gun, I grabbed the wrong dropper bottle." When I expressed shock and upset he barely said I'm sorry and that was it. Incompetent, uncaring, and unprofessional. Time to retire?
