About Your Visit
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Retina evaluations are often more detailed than a routine eye exam. Our goal is to provide thorough, compassionate care while helping you feel comfortable and informed throughout your visit.
- Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, and current medications.
- Your eyes may be dilated during the exam.
- Dilation can cause blurred vision and light sensitivity for several hours.
- Some visits may include retinal imaging or additional diagnostic testing.
