Your Appointment

What to Bring?
We would like to make your appointment as pleasant as possible. To assist us, please bring the following information with you on the day of your appointment.

List of all medications you are currently taking, including dosages and frequency
Dates of any prior surgery
Family history of eye problems
Allergy history
Current eyeglasses and contact lens specifications
Previous medical records and diagnoses relating to your eye condition
Insurance claim forms, coverage information and referral forms
If your appointment is for an initial evaluation or retinal problem, it is advisable to bring a companion who can drive you home because eye drops used during the examination may blur your vision. We also advise you to bring sunglasses for comfort following your exam.

What to Expect?
All patients need to register with our Front Desk. Prior to being examined by an ophthalmologist, you will be seen by an optometrist or ophthalmic technician. You should expect to spend at least one hour in the office on your first visit.

Patients with special eye problems and those referred for consultation may spend several hours with us since dilation of pupils and certain diagnostic tests may be required.

After your examination, you will receive a thorough explanation of your eye condition and, if necessary, treatment recommendations. If you have been referred to our office, your referring doctor will receive a complete report.
