Please Complete Intake and Consent Form Below for COVID Purposes

    Pre-Examination Form:

    13. May we use email or SMS to communicate with you?*

    Our office often uses email or SMS to communicate with patients. This information may be confidential and personal in nature. Although we are very careful on our end to keep these emails confidential, you should know that email/SMS messages in general are not encrypted and may exist indefinitely. Level of security is dependent on the e-mail/SMS client or app you use. We cannot guarantee the security of e-mails or SMS messages sent outside of the clinic. The clinic cannot guarantee that your email/SMS will be received, read or responded to within any particular period of time. The main advantage of email/SMS communication is convenience, particularly when scheduling appointments, answering questions, information about our clinic, and receiving timely information regarding your orders, care and examination results.

    FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES or other time-sensitive matters, we DO NOT recommend to communicate with the clinic via email/SMS. Please try calling your local hospital, our clinic or even 911 for any emergencies.

    14. I prefer this form of communication:*

    Pre-Examination Consent & Information:

    WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A FULL EYE EXAM?

    A full eye exam is $95 and includes a vision and eye health assessment. The optometrist will ensure you are seeing to the best of your ability and assess your eye health from the outside in. Specialized imaging of your eye structures may be added at an additional cost of $40-$70. You will leave your appointment with a prescription for eyeglasses if required. Please address your main concerns with the optometrist during your visit so we can best serve you.

    WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN A FULL EYE EXAM?

    A full eye examination does not include any consultation regarding contact lenses, eye surgeries, vision therapy, myopia control or other specialized topics. If you are interested in any of these things, please do mention it to your optometrist! Your optometrist can then discuss with you whether or not additional fees apply for your requirements. Please note that we do not provide any measurements or consultation related to purchasing eyeglasses or contact lenses online.

    WHAT IS EYE DILATION?

    Eye dilation may be recommended by your Optometrist. Dilation eye drops open your pupils so that the optometrist can look inside your eyes and view important structures including your retina and optic nerve. Dilation eye drops can make your vision light sensitive and blurry for a duration of 2 hours or more. Driving may be difficult until the effect of the drops wear off, so please prepare necessary provisions for your transportation. If you wish to decline this testing or reschedule it for another day, please let your Optometrist know.

    FOR CONTACT LENS WEARERS OR THOSE INTERESTED IN CONTACT LENSES:

    In order to obtain a contact lens prescription the optometrist will have to test your eyes with the contact lenses on. A Contact Lens Examination can cost anywhere from $50 to $120 depending on your contact lens requirements. When you do a contact lens exam and purchase your contact lenses with us, you are protected by our contact lens warranty and are guaranteed the best price with our online price match policy!

    Please note that your visit for a FULL COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM can take 30-60 minutes or more depending on your specific needs. Depending on the testing you require and our efforts to maintain a safe and clean environment for our patients, wait times before and during your appointment may range from 15-30 minutes. Since every patient's visual and eye health needs are unique, more or less time may be required during an exam to address all of our patient's specific concerns. Eye exams will begin with pretesting and ocular history before seeing the Optometrist. If your visit is time sensitive, please inform our staff upon your arrival as well as the Optometrist during your eye exam so we can better cater to your needs. Thank you in advance for your patience!

    16. Have you read and understand all of the aforementioned information?*
