Question

I have an appointment for a visual field and optic nerve examination on Chol Hamoed in Tel Aviv. The examination is not urgent but was scheduled a long time ago without attention to the date. Should I cancel and reschedule?

Answer

Hello 

In such a case, it is permissible to visit a doctor on Chol Hamoed, because it is generally not possible to schedule for a nearby date.
