When do Dr's answer?

[missyr67]

I posted yesterday but wasn't able to ask a question in the doctor section because it continues to say they only answer a few a day. I tried last night until after midnight and again this morning. But I see a doctor has commented here as well...does anyone think a doctor will answer me in this forum? I am getting worried, my vision is blurry but am afraid that the doctor's at the Urgent Care may no have experience in the vision/eye area.  Maybe the ER instead? I don't want to have some kind of permanent damage by waiting until Monday....What do you think?

If you have sudden outset of markedly blurred vision call an Eye MD and speak with the ophthalmologist on call or go to a ER. Almost all have Eye MDs that staft them.

A doctor will respond to this post sometime today.  Per your first post, you've been taking medication for the flu for a couple of days, and you started having eye spasms and blurred vision.  You might try calling your pharmacist to see if blurred vision is a possible side effect of the medication you've been taking.  Or (better yet) you could contact the doctor who prescribed the medication (through his/her answering service) for advice.
