How long will the appointment last?

A comprehensive eye examination usually can take 1 to 2 hours or more, depending on the case or if additional tests are required.

Will the eyes be dilated during the visit?

There's a possibility your eyes may be dilated if you're having a comprehensive eye exam. Dilation helps the doctor examine the back of your eyes. If your eyes are dilated, your vision may be blurry for a few hours.

Should I arrange for someone to drive me home or take a cab after the eye examination?

Our advice would be to have someone drive you home or use a cab as your vision might be temporarily blurry after dilation if the eyes are dilated.

How long does cataract or retina surgery typically take?

Most cataract and retina surgeries are completed within 1-2 hours. This includes pre-op preparation and post-op recovery time. However, the duration can vary depending on your situation. Please consult your doctor for additional details

How soon can I resume normal activities after surgery?

Post-surgical guidelines differ depending on the procedure. Typically, for cataract surgery, you might be asked to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. For retina surgeries, the recovery might be longer. Your doctor can provide detailed guidelines.

Will my insurance cover the treatments and surgeries?

Coverage can vary significantly based on the insurance provider and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider beforehand to understand the extent of coverage. Our Patient Counselor can also assist in providing information related to costs and insurance claims.

Are there any side effects or risks involved in the surgeries?

All surgeries come with inherent risks. However, our experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities ensure the highest safety standards. We will discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives for any procedure with you in detail before proceeding.

Can I wear my contact lenses or makeup to the appointment?

For a comprehensive eye examination, it's advisable not to wear contact lenses for at least 24 hours before the appointment. Makeup, especially around the eyes, should also be avoided.

How often should I have my eyes checked?

A regular eye exam is recommended once a year. However, if you have specific eye conditions, your ophthalmologist might suggest more frequent visits.
