Welcoming new patients

Our Pretest is completed prior to seeing your Doctor. 

Some testing will be done depending on the patient's age and the purpose of their appointment. 

This may include:

• Intra ocular pressure measurement
• Measurement of the prescription
• Visual field
• Depth perception
• Colour vision

Some patients will have dilating eye drops. It is recommended that you bring sunglasses to the eye appointment, as the drops  will make you light sensitive. 

The Doctor will now see you and will go over the information you gave during the pretest exams. 

If you were not dilated at pretest, they may administer eye drops at this point. The Doctor will go over the basic parts of the eyes, vision, binocular testing, checking peripheral vision, measuring the prescription for the lenses, checking the health of the eye itself  and most importantly patient education and management. 

They will send any referral letters or general ocular health reports to your Family Doctor,  especially for diabetic patients.
