History[]
Season 2[]
He appears in the Season 2 episode "The Unbearable Blindness of Laying" after Hank suffers from hysterical blindness due to seeing Tilly and her boyfriend Gary having sex on the kitchen table. The ophthalmologist is stumped with Hank's condition, he evaluates that Hank's eyes respond to light, the retina is in place, and there is no sign of a stroke. Hank denies poking himself in the eye and states he went blind for no reason. Peggy criticizes the ophthalmologist asking him what kind of doctor is he, will he do something. She demands he uses a laser on Hank immediately, to which he concurs, and Hank disapproves saying he doesn't need a laser. Hank asks what if somebody saw "something really, really wrong, could affect someone's vision?". The ophthalmologist says there is a temporary disorder called "hysterical blindness" and provides a couple of book on the topic to Hank. He states that the condition could last a few days or a few weeks and that the key to getting better is to confront what Hank saw and deal with it to regain his sight.
His name is never mentioned and nothing else is revealed about him. He does not appear in the remainder of the series.
