vitreous detachment exam

vitreous detachment exam

Is the exam for determining a possible vitreous detachment usually so "vigorous" as to cause the patient lasting pain and headaches, a feeling of dread about the upcoming follow up exams, and nightmares about alien abduction ??  My wife just had her first exam, and I'm worried that the person doing it .....is not equipped with good patient contact skills.  He is qualified, he is a doctor doctor..... md, phd.  I just need to know if the exam should be that painful or should we be seeing someone else.

I have had this exam by a few retinal specialist and the more experience on performed the exam with very little discomfort.  It was most uncomfortable with the retina doctor just starting practice.
