Why Get an Exam?
Some diseases, such as glaucoma, develop gradually without symptoms of pain or vision loss, so patients may not notice that anything is wrong until significant and irreversible damage has been done.
Early detection of eye diseases allows for a choice of treatment options and a reduced risk of permanent damage.
What to Expect
Depending on your medical status and your chief complaint, your eyes may be dilated. If your eyes are dilated, you may be sensitive to light and have blurry vision for 3 to 4 hours. We recommend that you bring a driver with you who can drive you home after the exam. Please bring any prescription glasses, contact lens prescription, and a list of medications with you.
