Office Visits
Complete consultations may last 1 to 3 hours,
depending on the complexity of the retinal problem
and need for specialized testing. Patients are asked
to take all pills, injections, and eye drops as they
normally would on the day of their appointment and
are asked to bring a complete list of all current medications.
Both eyes are usually dilated and patients may wish to bring
sunglasses and someone to drive home.
Office Staff
The administrative staff assists with appointment scheduling,
insurance form processing, questionnaires, billing, surgery
scheduling, and other administrative tasks. The technical
staff assist the physician in obtaining medical histories,
measuring vital signs, measuring eyeglasses, determining
levels of visual acuity, determining other physical information,
and, when prescribed by the physician, obtain specialized
retinal photographs or other special testing and assist the
physician with laser or office surgery.
