Recently moved to Georgia and need a new AME. Dr Faulkner seems to be the popular choice in the Atlanta area. Does anyone know which eye exam he uses for his tests? Thanks

 

The test is given by one of the nurse assistants, it uses one of those DMV style machines that you put your head against and it lights up.

You're asked to read the letters on a standard looking eye chart, the smallest row you can read. Then another slide of the same, I assume testing near and far vision.

Then there are numbered music notes with a red line going through one, testing astigmatism/lazy eye/eye position I think.

Then there are 6 Ishihara plates to read the numbers out of for color vision. He also has a Farnsworth Lantern Test for color vision. I don't have great color vision and the Farnsworth machines are hard to find so I'm glad he has one. I've moved away from Atlanta about 5 years ago and I still go to Dr. Faulkner. I couldn't ask for a better AME.

Obviously I'm not a doctor but I hope that helped. You can PM me if you have questions.

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Dr Faulkner is A #1. Not JMO, OFG

 

omg, ygtbsm....

 

My AMA has retired so I am going to go to Dr. Faulkner.
I have a nice long sit in ATL next month. I assume Uber is the best way to get to Dr. Faulkner's office?

Is there a better way?

 

You get a 15% discount if you walk from the airport to his office.

 

Proof is in the sweat on my shirt??

 

You could catch the Renaissance shuttle, then just walk over.

 

Exactly. It's right next door.
