i've seen countless optometrists/retina specialists for decades - Corrie D Weitzel is one of the very best i've seen/i say this with honesty. She is a true asset to The Cleveland Clinic. She was very thorough - took her time - was very understanding of how my vision problems affect my mental/physical health for decades (She truly seemed to "understand the overall picture" - since my eye disease began. She was able to reduce my fears to the extent possible (i.e.: driving) etc. due to articulating the law/how much more magnified any given prescription can become. Upon reflection, i have no idea WHY i wasn't referred to a low vision clinic ALONG time ago? There has NEVER been nor will there EVER be a CURE for my vision. My vision issues have likely caused me to have PTSD as i'm reminded of them daily/in reality; my vision issues have destroyed my life. The vision issues have caused PROLONGED stress/anxiety/ nightmares - etc. With Corrie D Weitzel new prescription for my eyes (that isn't ready yet) - i see ALLOT better. I left the clinic feeling empowered that i will soon "see better". Throughout the years, prior retina specialists treat me like some kind of non human research subject/i hate that feeling (often having interns "act" like doctors to look at my disease). Interns should 1. Tell me they are an "Intern" and 2. Ask me if I would mind if they shined a bright light into my eyes out of "curiosity"! Corrie D Weitzel made me feel like "a human being" and treated me with compassion - etc.
