Your Visit

In order to maximize your experience, your visit is divided into different stages so that each team member can specialize and improve the clinic's efficiency.

After checking-in with the front desk, you will be called by a technician to escort you to a room and start your eye exam. Technicians check your vision and put eye drops in your eyes to measure eye pressure and dilate your eyes. If you need additional testing, a medical photographer will call you to take photos while you wait for the dilating drops to work.

You may encounter a resident or fellow along the way, which is a doctor enrolled in our extensive training program. This doctor will examine you with a microscope and come up with a diagnosis and plan. He or she discusses your case with the attending physician (your doctor), who confirms and explains the treatment plan with you.

After you complete your discussion with the team of doctors, you will check-out with a receptionist, who will schedule follow-up appointments and print a summary of your visit.
