Hmm, it doesn't sound like she did any tests for accommodation or convergence (ie tracking in motion, looking at a pen while they move it close, far, left to right, etc.).
If you continue to have vision issues, I would make an appointment with Dr. Pia Hoenig at UCB Binocular Vision Clinic (510-642-2020). They have patients who fly in from out of state.
I'm so sorry you were rushed--very disappointing!
Best of luck-I hope you feel better!
