Eye Number increased
Respected Sir,
Few days back i went for eye check-up in icare Noida, after doing the checkups doctor told me to do "PENTACAM" test , i just want to know is this test really required ? i asked them the test cost , they told me it is 2500(really costly). i am not interested in any surgery , i am happy with wearing lenses. So please suggest me is this really required to go for PENTACAM test which is very costly.
Please suggest me good doctors so that i can make my eye checkups soon.
Thanks
