What To Expect
If this is your first visit, you will need to fill out paperwork. Bring your photo ID and insurance card with you. Testing typically comprises a visual field test, optic nerve photos, and dilation. When dialated it is important to protect your eyes. Bring sunglasses with you and someone to drive you home as driving with your eyes dilated may impair your ability to operate heavy machinery.
