Call to Schedule an Appointment
Your Visit
What to Bring
- Valid Identification (Driver’s License, Passport, etc.). - Required for every visit
- Medical and Vision Insurance Cards. - Required for every visit
- A list of all current eye drops and/or medications you are using, including over-the-counter medications
- Contact information for your physician(s) and a list of any health problems you may currently be experiencing or have had in the past
What to Expect
- Whether it is your first eye checkup or you have done this all before, it is helpful
to know what will happen during a basic eye exam.
For starters, you will: - Sit in a comfortable chair, while our second, third, and fourth year professional students conduct the exam under the direct supervision of highly skilled clinical faculty while using a variety of diagnostic instruments to assess your vision and eye health.
- During the exam, we will screen for eye diseases — like keratoconus, glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.
- We might dilate your eyes, which means that the doctor will put in special eye drops that allow them to view the inside of your eye — including the retina and optic nerve. That close-up view is especially important for people with diabetes, high blood pressure and those who are nearsighted.
- Doctors will determine your prescription and customized treatment plan, including options for glasses, contact lenses or advanced procedures.
