What
to expect your first visit: |
 |
We want
to make your first visit to Retina Specialists a pleasant
one; therefore we ask the following of new patients:
We
recommend new patients schedule at least two hours for
the initial comprehensive evaluation, completion of all
paperwork and even possible treatment. In some cases,
treatment will begin or even be completed on your initial
visit.
First-time
patients are required to provide us with a thorough medical
history, including a list of all current medications they
may be taking.
Please
bring any Medicare, Medicaid or insurance information. Usually,
identification cards are all that are necessary, however, some
coverage requires referrals and payments, which the patient
is responsible for bringing to the office. We at
Retina Specialists file Medicare, Medicaid and insurance
as courtesy, but the patient is responsible for any deductibles
or co-payments at the time of the visit.
A comprehensive
eye exam, including a visual acuity test and measurement
of the intraocular pressure will be performed, followed
by dilation of the eyes.
We
suggest you bring a family member or friend to drive you
after the appointment, since your eyes will remain dilated
several hours after the examination. For your convenience,
we provide sunglasses, which are helpful in reducing the
glare.
