Before Your Exam

Here's what you need to know to get ready for your visit:

New Patient Paperwork

If you are new to our office, please take a few minutes to fill out your new patient paperwork electronically using the link below. If you cannot fill out this paperwork before your appointment time, please arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete it at our office. If you are an established patient at our office, you can skip the new patient paperwork.

New Patient Paperwork

Insurance Cards & IDs

Always bring your photo ID, and any Medical Insurance cards, including supplements, with you (yes, even for your vision exam). Most vision plans do not have cards, and we can usually find your plan using your name and date of birth.

Medications List

Taking any medications? If you’ve got a long list, it may be easier to bring this list with you than to try to remember all of them.

Bring glasses & contact lenses

Bring any current prescription glasses or sunglasses you have so the doctor can assess what you are currently wearing, and give you a better idea if an update is needed or not. If you are a contact lens wearer, bring any old boxes so the current prescription can be reviewed.

Can’t Make Your Appointment?

No problem, just make sure you give our office at least a 2-hour notice so we can make this appointment available for someone else. Remember - we’re reserving this spot just for you. We do charge a fee for any no-shows or late reschedules/cancellations. For those with early appointments, texting our office before we open is also OK to avoid this fee.

We do more than eye exams!

Specialty Contact Lenses

Ever been told you can’t wear contacts? Maybe you’ve already had RK or LASIK eye surgery and can no longer wear lenses. Many dropouts are actually due to dryness and comfort issues. Whatever the reason, our office specializes in fitting complex patients with custom lens solutions. Read more about these incredible lenses below:
