Dr. Qasem was kind, thorough, highly competent and a great communicator. She took time to ask questions about what she determined to be an allergic reaction in my eyes. We talked through when it has started, what kinds of personal care products I used, medical and allergy history, and then how to best treat the condition. Although she sent me with an Rx for antibiotic drops, she encouraged me not to fill them in about three days time if my eyes were clearing naturally, because her theory was that I had an allergic reaction, not an infection. She pointed out the problems with overuse of antibiotics in situations not needed. I did as she advised and three days later my eyes are almost back to normal.
