What should I bring with me to my eye exam?
It’s important to have some basic information ready at the time of your eye examination including recent knowledge of family eye history. Bring the following items to your exam:

1. Bring your filled out Patient questionnaire/information form

2. All current eyeglasses and contact lenses you use, including your most used over the counter reading glasses. (You can also bring any previously written glasses or contact lens prescriptions.)
        - A list of any and all medications you are taking.
        - A list of any nutritional supplements or vitamins you take.
        - A list of questions to ask the doctor.

3. Bring your medical or vision insurance card if you will be using it for a portion of your fees (We may of already pre-authorized your visit through your insurance company.)

4. We do occasionally dilate the pupils to evaluate the back of your eyes and if we do so some patients prefer to have a driver as dilation can last from 4-6 hours and does cause some light sensitivity and near/reading blur.  We do offer the Optomap® retinal exam as well, in which you may not need dilation drops and has no side effects (see Our Services page)
