What should I bring?
Your Care Card, a list of your medications, prescription glasses, reading glasses and sunglasses – in case your eyes are dilated.
What should I expect?
Your appointment may include a variety of vision testing, images and scans prior to seeing Dr. Sexton. Expect your appointment at the clinic to last 60-90mins.
What does it mean to have my eyes dilated?
You may have dilating drops administered during your appointment. It will mainly affect your near vision, making it blurry up to about an arm’s length distance. The drops last approximately about 4 hours and will also make you sensitive to light, so we recommend to bring sunglasses for your own comfort after your exam.
- By temporarily paralyzing the muscle that makes the pupil smaller;

- By preventing the pupil from adjusting for focus (called accommodation).
