What to bring to your exam:
Please bring the following things to your exam.  This will help to expedite the check-in process:
  • Picture ID 
  • Vision Insurance card
  • Medical Insurance card
  • Any eye glasses you use or have recently used.
  • List of medications you are currently taking (or you can give us permission to pull a list from your pharmacy)
  • Any questions you have for the Optometrist
  • Patient Forms (if you downloaded them online and filled them out prior to the appointment) ​
What to expect during your visit:
  • If you haven’t already completed our annual patient forms, we’ll ask you to do so before your appointment begins.
  • ​Before seeing the doctor, one of our friendly ophthalmic technicians will perform a series of "pre-tests" to gather important information about your eyes and vision. Your vision will be checked at every visit to help guide your care.
  • During your exam, the doctor will:
    1. Use a phoroptor (the "1 or 2 machine") to determine your eyeglass prescription.
    2. Examine the front and back of your eyes with a slit lamp—a microscope with a bright light—to check for cataracts, dry eye, and other conditions.
  • Retinal health is essential. We recommend evaluating your retina every year using either:
    1. Dilation drops – which temporarily blur vision and increase light sensitivity for 7 hours or more and extend your visit by about 30 minutes.
    2. Optomap imaging – a fast, side-effect-free photo of your retina.
  • After all testing is complete, your doctor will review the results, answer your questions, and provide any necessary prescriptions for glasses, contact lenses, or medical treatments.
  • If needed, you may be scheduled for additional specialized testing (such as scans for glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, or macular degeneration). These tests are performed at a separate visit and billed to your medical insurance.
Our optical shop is open during regular office hours — feel free to stop by at your convenience.
We’re honored to care for your eyes, and we encourage you to ask questions at any time during your visit!
