WHAT TO EXPECT<\/b> –<\/span>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Both of your eyes will be dilated at the first visit, and in most cases for subsequent visits also. \u00a0We recommend that you have a driver for your visits.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At each visit, a technician will measure your vision and check your eye pressures.\u00a0 You will be given eyedrops to dilate your eyes.\u00a0 This usually requires waiting for the pupils to slowly dilate.\u00a0 Dilating your eyes is necessary for a thorough retina exam.\u00a0 Once your eyes are fully dilated, you will see the doctor.\u00a0 You may also have some photographs taken of your eyes<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We often perform similar examinations and sometimes imaging studies as your referring doctor, but this is necessary for us to obtain the most information and provide the best care.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Please plan to be at our office for your appointment for up to two hours.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Before your first appointment at the retina center you will need to complete paperwork.\u00a0 Some of this paperwork helps us with your care and some is required by insurance companies and the government.\u00a0 You can access this paperwork by clicking on the links on this page or we can mail it to you.\u00a0 Please bring this paperwork with you to your appointment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n
