The exam lasted almost an hour and a half. Finally, I met with Dr. Merchant for ten minutes; there was barely any conversation. I left not understanding what my eyes needed. As a result, I am going to see a different doctor.

Dr. merchant took the time to explain to me the issues with my eyelids as well as dry eyes and made some excellent suggestions. Also talked about alternative treatments. I like the fact that he talked in Laymans terms.
