Exam Day Information

What to expect on exam day

Anticipate having your eyes dilated. This will allow your ocular health to be fully evaluated during your examination. After your exam, expect a slight sensitivity to sunlight and an inability to focus for near work (ie. reading) for 2-3 hours. Although most patients are comfortable driving afterwards, we do recommend you have a driver available should you feel incapable. If you own sunglasses, we recommend you have them with you on exam day.

• Please have your medical insurance card(s) with you. Copies will be made for your record.
• If you are a new patient, please try to arrive 5-10 minutes in advance of your appointment to complete registration procedures. If you have already received these materials via mail, please try to arrive at your scheduled appointment time.
• Expect to spend about 1 hour in our office for your comprehensive examination. This will include your exam, frame selection and fitting, and any registration/billing procedures.
