New Patients
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH US
In order for our doctors
to conduct a complete eye exam with dilation and thoroughly explain any findings
from the visit, please allow 90 minutes for the first appointment. We suggest
that you have snacks and baby's necessities on hand. If you or your child's eyes
are dilated, they will be sensitive to light. We suggest that you bring sunglasses
for you or your child to wear after your visit. The eye drops will make your or
your child's near vision blurry. Depending on the drops that are given, the dilation
can last anywhere from 4 to 24 hours.
IF ANYONE OTHER
THAN THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN IS ACCOMPANYING THE CHILD, THEY MUST BRING WRITTEN
PERMISSION FROM A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN IN ORDER FOR THE PATIENT TO RECEIVE
TREATMENT
