• Do you sell glasses?
  No, but we will give you your prescription for glasses and you can take it where ever you like to have glasses made.

• What is a refraction?
  This is part of your exam that determines if you need glasses and if you do need glasses, it gives the doctor the numbers for your prescription.

• What is astigmatism
  Occurs when the cornea is more curved in one direction then the other, like the shape of a football.

• What is a cataract?
  A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. It can be compared to a window that is frosted or fogged with steam.

• If I am dilated how long with it last and do I need a driver?
  The dilating drops will last a few hours but we can give you reversing drops that will bring your eyes back to normal faster. We do not tell patient’s they will need a driver when they have a dilated eye exam.

• What should I bring with me the day of my visit?
  You will need to bring a photo ID and your insurance cards.
