Using the internet to diagnose eye problems can be dangerous to your health. Because most eye conditions and diseases require an in-person examination by an expert, online Ophthalmology-related symptom checkers have inherent limitations. A recent study showed that a popular online symptom checker was correct only 26% of the time, and in 14 of 17 cases made incorrect recommendations about what the patient should do next. Never hesitate to contact your Retinologist at High Country Macula should you ever experience any eye discomfort or distorted vision. Learn more about the study at http://bit.ly/2RgGwGY
