Sadeghi Eye Center

Aug 2021

I went to Dr. Sadeghi because I was having trouble focusing my left eye. I also had eye pain and redness, for which I'd received antibiotic drops from a telemedicine service, but I wanted an in-person appointment. Dr. Sadeghi did extensive testing and also sent me for blood work and gave me a referral to a neurologist for more testing. The end conclusion was that the focusing issue was a virus that cleared on up on its own, but during the testing Dr. Sadeghi discovered I had lost some of my peripheral vision. The final diagnosis was glaucoma and Dr. Sadeghi prescribed a medication. Dr. Sadeghi gave me the glaucoma diagnosis even though I had normal pressure, because everything else had been ruled out and he told me there's a small percentage of people with glaucoma who have normal pressure. He is the first eye doctor who has told me that and it is now obvious to me that I had been going to optometrists for "glaucoma testing" and vision testing for years and they had totally missed that I was losing my peripheral vision because all they did was have me stare straight ahead at an eye chart and test my pressure, which was normal. If I hadn't seen Dr. Sadeghi I might have eventually gone blind. I'm not too crazy about him bringing his dog to the office but as far as the medical evaluation I have no complaints.
