    IF SO———–WHY CAN’T A V.N. VETERAN WITH SERIOUS EYE PROBLEMS GET IN TO SEE AN OPTHAMOLOGIST, WITHOUT BEING FARMED OUT TO AN OPTOMERATIST OUTSIDE THE VA SYSTEM. THE PRIVATE CLINICS DON’T CARE ABOUT VETERANS—-THEY AREN’T PAID ENOUGH MONEY! I’VE HAD GLAUCOMA SINCE 1973—I’VE TAKEN DAILY EYE DROPS EVER SINCE, HAVE HAD SEVERAL SURGERIES INCLUDING SHUNT SURGERY TWO YEARS AGO BY AN OUTSIDE CLINIC THAT I WAS SENT TO BY THE V. A. I NOW HAVE LOSS OF VISION IN MY RIGHT EYE DUE TO THE SHUNT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE CORNEA–AND NEED CORNEA TRANSPLANT. I HAVE TIL JAN.

    I would like using more of the VA technology but cannot because of our internet and cell signal strength out in the country side of Battle Creek Mi.
    We get one bar of cell strength and a little better on internet. Both through Verizon services.
    I have been on the phone with Verizon for months and no changes. I wish the VA could help with some sort of signal enhancements equipment. I would really like to use all of these wonderful VA technology services.
