which doc should i see

Hello, I have a supra orbital tumor, benign of course.  Previously I had been seen by a neuro-opthamologist for yearly eye exams, however since I have lost my insurance, nobody at the University really wants to see me (even though I offer cash payments).   Could you tell me...would a "regular" opthamologist be capable of fully following my eye status, considering that I am currently seeing a neurologist every year for follow up?

One thing's for sure, the AMA won't send you towards an optometrist...

I think you should contact the AMA the head of the place you go to for your exams and demand they followup with you.  You are a paying patient who needs to be examined
