Please click on the “I agree” tab below to access video answers to many commonly asked questions on exams, contacts, types of prescriptions, and common eye diseases.

Exams

How often should I get an eye exam?

Our doctors recommend a comprehensive eye exam every 12 months.

At what age should children have their first eye exam?

As a proud partner with the InfantSEE program, we are happy to provide a free eye examination for any children between 6 to 12 months of age. After infancy, children should be examined at least once between the ages of 3 to 5 to ensure that they are visually ready to begin pre-school programs.

Dilation

What side effects can I expect after being dilated?

Increased sensitivity to bright lights is the most common side effect of dilation. Blurry near vision is also a side effect for most patients. Distance vision may also be somewhat affected depending on the patients prescription and age of current glasses.

I just had my eyes dilated, how long will the dilation last?

Typically, the side effects of dilation drops will last approximately 4 to 6 hours. Some people are more sensitive to the drops and it may take longer. If your eyes have not returned to normal in 24 hours, give us a call.

Contact Lenses

How can I re-order contact lenses?

You can re-order contact lenses for up to one year following a contact lens examination. You can call the office and tell us how many boxes you would like to order, and we will process your order. It typically takes 5 business days from the time the order is placed, for the lenses to arrive in our office. When they arrive we will give you a call.
