I'd get a second opinion and would not mention this one. You don't want to pre-load the mind with the info from the first one.
If you are dealing with something that may, potentially, become serious well down the road, it is worth the extra expense, insurance or not. Blindness, partial or whole, one eye or both, is a life-changing event. It isn't gall-stones or some other, minor but curable problem.
And when one is dealing with medic-in-the-box types, you have to ask yourself, if this individual is qualified to be a heart surgeon, why is he/she working in ABC Roadside Stop-n-Go's first aid station?
People who get paid on a commission basis, are always looking to increase sales in order to increase take-home pay. This is why I don't get my eye exam from Walmart or LensCrafters, or the such. I go to an existing, well established, reputable eye doctor. One that I can check on and check out, before I commit.
