What You'll Need for Your Visit
New patients should arrive 30 minutes prior to their appointment and returning patients at least 10 minutes prior to their appointment. Please bring the following information to the appointment:
- Phone number of your insurance company.
- Your insurance card or proof of insurance coverage.
- Specific information about the type of eye examination and insurance coverage.
- Completed yellow "Pre-Registration Information" form.
- Completed "Emory Ophthalmology Patient Questionnaire."
- All information relevant to your medical condition such as copies of medical records, physician referral letters, CT scans, MRI scan and/or X-rays.
Depending on the complexity of the problem, your eyes may need to be dilated and a complete eye exam could take up to several hours. So please bring a driver and be prepared to wait. Vision screening exams for eyeglasses may not require dilation and generally tend to be shorter visits.
