What to expect.
We check and measure your vision, measure the pressures in your eyes, and examine the health of the different layers of the eyes. Some of these tests require that we use drops to make the testing comfortable, or to dilate the pupils to check the back of the eyes. The dilatation drops usually last one to two hours and may interfere with reading or driving, especially on a bright day. We will provide sunglasses. If you have concerns about the drops we use, how long they might last, and how they may effect this vision please ask.
Most new patient eye examination take about an hour. If you have a complicated problem, or require other tests, the examination may take longer.
