Learning English through Everyday Conversations: Going to an Eye Specialis

John Smith had been experiencing some discomfort in his eyes for a few days, so he decided to visit an eye specialist. He made an appointment with Dr. Sarah Lee, a renowned eye doctor in the city:

Here’s a conversation  at the Doctor’s Practice:

John: Hi, I have an appointment with Dr. Lee. My name is John Smith.

Receptionist: Hi John, please have a seat. Dr. Lee will be with you shortly.

(After a few minutes, Dr. Lee comes out to the waiting room to greet John.)

Dr. Lee: Hi John, I’m Dr. Lee. Nice to meet you. What brings you in today?

John: Hi Dr. Lee, nice to meet you too. I’ve been experiencing some discomfort in my eyes for the past few days. They feel sore and dry, and they’re a bit itchy and red.

Dr. Lee: I see. Let me take a look. Please come with me to the examination room.

(After examining John’s eyes)

Dr. Lee: John, you have a mild infection in your eyes, which is causing the discomfort. I’m going to prescribe some eye drops for you, and I advise you to avoid exposure to bright lights and rest your eyes as much as possible. Can you please give me your pharmacy information, so we can send your prescription over?

John: Sure. I usually go to Lisa Brown’s pharmacy. She’s very knowledgeable.

(After visiting the pharmacy)

Lisa: Hi John, how can I assist you today?

John: Hi Lisa, I have a prescription from Dr. Lee for some eye drops.

Lisa: Okay, let me get that for you. Here you go. Do you have any questions on how to use the drops?

John: No, Dr. Lee explained everything to me. Thank you, Lisa.

(After one week, John returns for his follow-up appointment)

Dr. Lee: Hi John, how have your eyes been feeling?

John: Hi Dr. Lee, they’ve been feeling much better. The eye drops have been really helpful.

Dr. Lee: Great to hear. Let me take a look. (examines John’s eyes) Yes, the infection has cleared up nicely. Just to be safe, I want you to continue using the eye drops for a few more days. And remember, it’s important to schedule regular eye checkups to maintain good eye health.

John: Okay, thank you so much, Dr. Lee.

Dr. Lee: You’re welcome, John. Take care and let us know if you have any further concerns.
