Dr Lu is amazing, I don't know how she can be so caring and compassionate every time I see her. She is the reason I do t go anywhere else. It takes a long time to get an appointment and when I've left message the nurse (?) assured me someone would call back but they never did. I spoke to Dr Lu and she was concerned and said I could message through the app and she would get back to me

Dr. Lu said that at this time she saw no evidence of Macular Degeneration. I was grateful to hear that. This is a hereditary concern from my mother, and both of my two older sisters. However, my other concern is that I still feel a slight twitch in my left eye. This is something which is new for me in the last few months and was also a concern that bothers me.
