INITIAL EVALUATION

Your first eye examination includes a detailed history and comprehensive diagnostic testing.
Diagnostic testing includes refractive testing to determine glasses/contact lens prescription and thorough ocular health assessment (of both anterior/front of eye and posterior/back of eye).
In order to examine the health of the back of the eye (retina) often includes a dilated eye evaluation and/or OPTOMAP photo will be recommended by your optometrist. If dilated, your vision may be blurred and your eyes may be light sensitive after your visit. We recommend bringing a pair of UV protective sunglasses to wear following your examination.
