Patient Forms
Eye Dilation
In most cases, it will be necessary to dilate both of your eyes,
which may blur your vision temporarily. For this reason,
we recommend prearranging transportation home with a
friend or family member.
Complete Exam
Dr. Poer will review your medical history and perform a complete
examination of your eyes. After a full examination, he will discuss
your condition, any additional testing that may be required for
diagnosis, and recommended therapies or procedures.
Testing and Treatment
Since specialized testing is often needed, and in many cases,
treatment can be initiated during the same day and appointment,
please plan on a visit that may last up to four(4)
hours.
