Dilation/Retinal Photo

*Check If You Would Like To Have Optomap Performed Instead of Dilation The Optomap produces a comprehensive image of your retina without the side effects of dilation. Thus, we can better prevent or reduce vision loss in our patients with a simple, quick and patient-friendly new exam. Any eye exam should always include a careful look at the retina, which is located at the back of the eye, to screen for abnormalities or disease. The sensitive tissue that makes up the retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases that can ultimately lead to partial loss of vision or even complete blindness. Early detection of any retinal abnormality is crucial. Previously, this could only be done by dilating the pupils, a procedure that many patients found uncomfortable, inconvenient and time-consuming. The Optomap, using a new technology, the Panoramic200, Retinal Imaging System, enables us to see more of your retina than observed during dilated exams without the discomfort and inconvenience associated with pupil dilation. As a result, you will not experience blurred vision or sensitivity to light following your eye exam. (Dilation results in thirty minutes of waiting and 3 or more hours of blurred vision). It is important to note however, that should any abnormalities be detected, or if we cannot obtain an acceptable image, dilation may be necessary. The Optomap exam is simple: at the push of a button, we can generate a computer image of your retina for immediate review. Experience with this technology has already led to improved disease detection and has possibly prevented vision loss and blindness in several patients.

Contact Lenses

If you're not getting contacts, you can move to the "Submit Data" tab.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR CONTACT LENS FITTINGS AND EVALUATIONS The contact lens evaluation and fitting is a separate procedure from the standard comprehensive eye examination therefore it is charged differently. Patients that request a prescription for contact lenses will be responsible for payment of both the comprehensive examination AND the contact lens evaluation fitting. In order to get your contact lens prescription renewed, you must get a contact lens fitting every year after your previous prescription expires. The contact lens evaluation fitting includes:      - Contact lens evaluation, which includes measurements of your cornea      - Selection of contact lenses for best visual outcome      - Solution starter kit (For new wearers only)      - Diagnostic contact lenses, including proper care, insertion and removal training if necessary.      - Appropriate lens changes if needed      - Follow Up visits up to 3 months. (Extra charge after the 3 month period)      - Contact lens prescription when the proper follow-ups are taken. What if I decide to get contacts later after my standard comprehensive examination? Patients, who get a comprehensive eye exam and would like to get a contact lens evaluation fitting at a later date, must do so within a 90-day period if they wish to be charged for only the contact lens evaluation difference. Any requests for contact lens evaluation fitting after the 90-day period will require that the patient go through another full standard eye exam along with the contact lens evaluation fitting for any changes in the overall prescription.

Please go to the "Signature & Submittal" Tab.
