Request an Appointment

Online Scheduling Now Available

 

Stay Focused |

To speed up the registration process, please bring the following to your appointment:

  • Your eyeglasses and/or contact lenses
  • An up-to-date list of all your medications and eyedrops
  • Your current insurance cards
  • Photo identification
  • If you are receiving care from another eyecare provider, please arrange for a copy of your last visits to be sent to us prior to your appointment

All patient forms must be completed prior to your appointment. A link with forms needed will be sent to you after your appointment is confirmed.

Schedule Enough Time

When planning your appointment with one of our ophthalmologists, please allow adequate time for a comprehensive eye exam; approximately 1.5 hours, in addition to any other diagnostic tests the doctor may deem necessary. When planning for an appointment with our optometrists for your yearly eye exam for glasses and/or contacts, please plan for approximately one hour, plus any additional diagnostic testing that may be necessary.

Dilation

Often your pupils must be dilated during an eye exam. Dilation is necessary for a thorough evaluation of your retina and optic nerves. Dilation may cause your vision to become blurry, and lights will appear brighter than usual. We suggest you bring sunglasses to your appointment, or we can provide you with disposable shades. If you are concerned about driving while dilated, please bring someone with you to drive you home.

Bring a List of Medications and Eye Drops

Bring a complete list, with dosages, of your current medications, eye drops, nutritional supplements, over-the-counter medicines and herbal supplements with you to your appointment. This will help with the check-in process and provide the doctor with information he or she may need to prescribe treatment or make a diagnosis.

Bring Your Corrective Lenses and Sunglasses

Bring your contacts and/or glasses with you to your appointment.

Insurance Card & Photo I.D.

Do not forget your current insurance card and one form of photo identification.

Fees/Insurance

If you have any questions regarding coverage for your visit, it is best to start with a call to your insurance provider. If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our billing staff. They will make every effort to answer questions and provide the information we have access to.
