FAQ

Question: What is a routine eye exam?

Answer:

A routine eye exam involves much more than just checking for a change in your prescription. Dr. Sally will first talk with you about your health history then determine your prescription in the distance and up close, your focusing ability and the ability of your eyes to work together as a team.  She will also check the health of your eyes--inside and out--to look for eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and dry eyes. She can also look for certain systemic diseases that may affect your eyes like diabetes and high blood pressure and will do special tests to find and monitor other eye diseases as indicated. The last part of the exam is where Dr. Sally will very carefully explain all of the findings to you and encourages you to ask questions about your eyes and your vision.

Question: What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?

Answer:

• A list of your prescription and over-the-counter medications
• Any eye drops you are currently using
• All glasses you wear on a regular basis
• Your contact lenses, case and solution
• Insurance card if we are billing your insurance for you
• Payment for the exam and/or contact lens fitting if not covered by your insurance
• A list of questions for Dr. Sally

Question: Do I need to arrive before my scheduled appointment time?

Answer:

We ask that you arrive at least 5 minutes before your appointment time in order to fill out paperwork, discuss your insurance and ask any questions you may have for the staff. This will help Dr. Sally stay on time for the appointments scheduled after yours.
