What to Expect

An initial retinal examination may take up to 2 hours, especially if it is necessary to perform special tests. Subsequent visits are usually shorter. Your eyes, probably both, will be dilated at an initial visit and sometimes at subsequent visits. The dilation may cause blurring of your vision for as much as 6 hours so you may want to bring a driver with you. Be sure to bring the following to your appointment:
  • A list of ALL your medications, prescription and over-the-counter;
  • Insurance card and/or Medicare card; and
  • If needed for your health plan, your authorization form, unless it was sent to us directly.
