For Eye Care Patients
We value your time and want your appointments to go as smoothly as possible.
If you have any questions, please call us at (425) 899-5335.
For All Patients
Every visit we ask that you please bring:
- Your prescription glasses (even if you choose not to wear them)
- Any prescribed or over the counter eyedrops that you use or have used in the past
- A list of all your current medications
At the end of your exam, your doctor will explain the findings, make recommendations, and answer any questions.
New Patients
Please plan on 60 to 90 minutes for your first exam which, in most cases, will include dilation.
Dilating drops will cause your near vision to be blurry for several hours, will cause you to be sensitive to light, and will cause your pupils to be larger than normal. Please bring sunglasses with you or we can provide you with disposable ones.
We see adults only (18 years and older).
Because we are a medical eye clinic, you should see an optometrist first for routine concerns such as blurry vision or a glasses prescription.
If you have a family history of eye disease (such as glaucoma or macular degeneration), please see an optometrist first for a screening exam. If they find any abnormalities on exam, then a referral to an ophthalmologist is appropriate.
We bill medical insurance only. We are not contracted and do not bill any of the vision plans such as VSP (Vision Service Plan). If your primary concern is to obtain a prescription for glasses, you should seek care from a provider within your vision plan network.
