Prior to your Visit
Please bring your photo ID, insurance card, and a list of current medications to your appointment. If you have glasses, bring them with you. If you wear contact lenses, please note:
- Soft contact lenses: Insert at least 2 hours before your appointment
- Hard contact lenses: Insert at least 4 hours before your appointment
These contact lens guidelines do not apply if you are coming in for a cataract surgery evaluation.
During your Visit
Your exam may include vision testing, ocular pressure measurement, glasses prescription updates, dilation to check the health of your retinas, and additional testing based on your ocular and medical history.
Cataract evaluations may include biometry (IOLMaster) and corneal topography to determine your intraocular lens (IOL) options. Accurate results require following contact lens removal timelines (Soft Contacts 2 weeks prior, Hard Contacts 1 month prior).
Face coverings are optional unless required by your provider for a specific procedure or due to public health guidance.
After your Visit
You may be light-sensitive or having difficulty focusing up close for a few hours as your dilation wears off; however, you will be safe to drive.
