Pupillary dilation, for the purpose of examining the back of the eye (retina, vitreous, blood vessels, optic nerves), has usually been performed as part of the full eye examination with a few exceptions until now, with our new Optos wide-field fundus camera, which can take the place of dilation.
Please bring the following to your eye exam: all current insurance card (s), referral information (if required by your insurance), eyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses and related prescription information, solutions, and a complete list of all medications and dosages. If you wear contact lenses, wear them to the eye exam.
If you wear contact lenses, wear them to the eye exam. If you wear distance glasses, put them on after you are seated in the exam room (unless you are wearing contact lenses). If you want to update your eyeglass prescription….
In general, unless the tested vision is not good or you are having visual problems, a refraction may not be necessary.
It is important but not essential for you to know what contact lens prescription you are wearing (manufacturer, brand name, power, base curve, and diameter).

Please inform the receptionist that you are wearing contact lenses when you check into our office.
