About Your Appointment:

Your first appointment with us may take approximately two hours. Your eyes may be dilated for this initial visit. If you know you are sensitive to dilation, you may want to bring someone with you to drive you home after your exam. It will help us to help you if you are prepared to answer some of the following questions:

• What brings you to our office today (my doctor told me to see you because ….., or I’m having a problem with ……….)
• How long have you been experiencing this problem?
• Are you having any pain? If yes, how often? How long does it last?
