We have implemented office procedures to ensure the safety and health of you and our staff. In the interest of safety and to make efficient use of your exam time, please read the following:

  • new patients should register in advance using this Registration Form
  • allow at least 60 minutes in your schedule at the time of your appointment
  • please arrive 10 minutes before your exam time to allow for parking and pretesting
  • please bring only 1 family member if necessary when accompanying a minor, language barriers exist, or if the patient requires extra assistance
  • bring any eyeglasses you use or last prescribed to your appointment
  • if you use contact lenses, bring any relevant info with you, but it is best to wear your eyeglasses for the exam

  • check your vision insurance before your visit, as we direct bill only. Any services or products not covered by third-party insurers are the responsibility of the patient at the time of their visit

At the time of your exam, it may be required to conduct a dilated retinal exam. This means your pupils will be dilated and you will experience blurred vision and light sensitivity for up to 3 hours after your exam. Having a pair of sunglasses or a driver is advisable in these circumstances. If this is not possible, a second visit may be required to complete all testing – fees apply. Patients most likely to require same-day dilation include patients with diabetes, seniors, patients with very small pupils, lazy eye, those with high myopia or nearsightedness, retinal disease, optic nerve disease, patients complaining of sudden vision loss, flashes and/or floaters, etc.
