GCA worry/Ophthamogist

Since my dealing with PMR for the past several years, i have always had the concern of my developing GCA. So far so good. I have a standing yearly appointment with an Ophthalmologist here in South Carolina. The optician fills the glasses prescription and i am good to go.

Yes. It was the query about optician vs ophthalmologist. Whoops. I am a dinosaur when it comes to figuring out how to respond. Sorry!🤣
