Visiting any doctor can be a stressful experience in general. Add in a language barrier and cultural differences, and it’s bound to be anxiety inducing. Here are some of my experiences and some things that made the visits a bit easier to manage. I am writing as an American living in France, but some of this information could apply more broadly to anyone living outside of their home country.
Today, we're talking about the ophthalmologist and what you can expect from an annual check up. Let me know if you have any questions, or feel free to share your own experiences!
Some vocabulary to know:
Contacts - Lentilles
Glasses - Lunettes
Daily - Quotidien
Weekly - Hebdomadaire
BiWeekly - Bimensuel
Monthly - Mensuel
