Can anyone recommend one that is confirmed to not be a quack? I have some ocular pressure/discomfort that has not gone away since a rather painful headache a bit over a week ago. My guess is it's stress related (and not being helped by staring at a computer screen all day every day) but boy would the laugh be on me if it was a tumor and I didn't get it checked.

Going off of pure chance, so far I'm thinking the Midtown Clinic as the rent would be prohibitive of some dipshit... I would hope, anyway.

I wish you all the best.

Hopefully you won't have to suffer Tokyo Joe, given the fact that he claims to lord over that area with his special air filtration system & superlative presence there.

Cheers. From some research in other matters, I've heard the US Embassy basically just puts stuff up on there for the benefit of those that can't speak Japanese. But, nonetheless, I will look.

I should also mention it's also possible it's eye strain from me using my camera w/ an unfocused thing-a-majig.
