Your First Consultation
Important Reminder: If you wear contact lenses, please remove them at least two weeks prior to your appointment. This allows for the most accurate measurements and ensures the best possible results from your eye evaluation or procedure.
Your first consultation is the important first step toward clear, healthy vision. Our ophthalmologists take the time to provide every patient with a personalized and comprehensive evaluation.
Because your initial visit is so thorough, please allow up to three hours for testing and review. This ensures we can make the most accurate diagnosis and create the right treatment plan for your needs.
