Dr Kuchtey spent a good deal of time with me and explained what she was seeing in my eyes on that day. She had a recommendation for me to keep my eyes healthier

Dr Kutchey told me that I had permanent vision loss in my left eye but didn't suggest any cause forIt. She also described possible treatments going forward but didn't share what would necessitate each of the options
