On your first visit, the doctor will give you a complete evaluation and, if needed, additional testing may be done. Sometimes, if treatment is necessary, it may be initiated on your first visit.

We ask you to be prepared. You can expect to be in the office for a minimum of 2 hours. If you have diabetes, please bring a snack with you. 

Your eyes will be dilated during your exam and will remain dilated for several hours after the examination. We suggest you bring someone to drive you home. Sunglasses may be helpful in reducing the glare and are available at the back desk when you leave.
