About Your Visit
We appreciate the trust you place in us in caring for your vision. The length of your appointment can vary from 30-90 minutes based on the severity and complexity of your eye condition. While we strive to minimize your wait times, we are a referral practice and often anticipate unpredictable emergencies. We will work diligently to reduce any potential delays in your care.
The Eye Exam
Upon your arrival, our front staff will enter and update your registration and insurance information. To expedite this process, you may fill out your registration forms online prior to your visit.
Next, you will be seen by one of our technicians who will take your medical history and take your “eye vital signs.” If your eyes need to be dilated, this may take up to 15-30 minutes. Please note that dilation can result in vision changes that may last for 4-6+ hours. After, the physician will then examine your eyes and determine if additional testing is required. If you need specialized treatment or surgery, this will likely need to be rescheduled for another time.
