Initial Consultation
Your first visit with us may require between 2 to 4 hours. The length of the time accounts for patient registration, time for eye dilation, retinal testing and any in-office treatment you may require.
Eye Dilation
Please be prepared to have your eyes dilated during each exam, as this is the only way to properly examine your retina.
The effects of dilation usually last for a few hours and can make your eyes very sensitive to light. We will provide sunglasses if you don't have your own.
Dilation may also temporarily affect your vision, making it appear blurry and making driving difficult. Therefore, we recommend that you bring someone with you who can drive you home afterward.
Retina Consultants uses the latest technology to ensure you are receiving the highest standard of care. However, a retinal examination takes longer than the average general eye exam. From initial work up, diagnostic testing, and thorough examination by board certified retina specialist, a new patient can expect to be in our office for a minimum of two-to-three hours.
Arrive at our scheduled appointment time with your identification, health insurance cards, and any paperwork mailed to you filled out to the best of your ability.
