What to Expect at Your Naples Appointment

Your first retina appointment is more detailed than a routine eye exam and may take up to three hours. At our eye care center, your visit may include pupil dilation, a vision and eye pressure check, retinal imaging, and additional diagnostic testing based on your symptoms and examination.

Please bring:

1. Your driver’s license or photo ID
2. Your current insurance cards and any required authorization
3. A list of your medications or the medications in their original bottles
4. Your prescription glasses
5. Sunglasses to wear after dilation
6. A driver or companion, since dilation can temporarily affect your vision

Our team will explain the examination findings, answer your questions, and discuss whether monitoring, an in-office procedure, or surgery may be appropriate.
