Your First Visit:

Please allow about two hours for your first visit to Bay Eye Associates.    A comprehensive exam includes extensive history taking, testing, and will typically include dilating the pupils to allow the doctor a full view of the back of the eye.  The dilating drops will cause temporary blurred vision and light sensitivity for approximately three hours.  This could impact your driving ability, so you may wish to make other driving arrangements and bring sunglasses with you.

For your visit, please bring the following:

• Glasses that provide you your best vision--whether or not you wear them!
• Completed history and registration forms that we will mail to you prior to your appointment.  Bring these forms with you--do not mail them to the office.
• If, for some reason, you did not receive our information packet by mail prior to your visit--please arrive a few minutes early to allow time for the paper work.
• If you are a contact lens wearer, please wear your contacts, or bring them with you.  If you do not have any lenses available, bring all contact lens records with you.
• All medical insurance cards and necessary referral forms.

If you need new lenses in your glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision, a prescription will be given to you at the end of your appointment.  Our Optical Department will be happy to help you with this, or you may take the prescription to the optician of your choice.
