What to Expect At Your Upcoming Visit
We require a 24 hour notice for any cancellations or reschedules. Thank you for helping us keep appointments available for patients in need.
Complete All Required Intake Forms in Advance
Submitting forms ahead of time allows our clinical team to review your history thoroughly and focus on your care the moment you arrive.
- Specialty & Referral Patients: A technician will contact you for a brief phone interview prior to your visit to gather clinical details and ensure a smooth appointment.
Bring All Current Visual Aids and Prescriptions
Provide Relevant Medical Records and Medications
Arrive 15 Minutes Early with ID and Insurance
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. This ensures adequate time for check-in and preliminary testing without reducing your face-to-face time with the doctor. Remember to bring your photo ID and current medical and vision insurance cards.
Prepare for Dilation and Accessibility Needs
Most exams involve dilation, which can cause temporary light sensitivity and blurred vision for several hours.
- Support & Mobility: Please bring any required mobility aids (canes, walkers, or wheelchairs). If you require assistance with communication or care coordination, we recommend having a caregiver or support person accompany you.
Checking In at OPMT Vision Centers
Check Out Eyewear While You Wait
Advanced Pre-Testing and Retinal Imaging
Before your eye health exam, you will complete a few quick tests, including a vision check and digital retinal imaging.
Why Retinal Imaging Matters
This quick, painless imaging helps our doctors detect and monitor eye health conditions—often before symptoms occur. Digital retinal imaging helps us track signs of:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Macular degeneration
What Happens During Your Eye Exam
At OPMT Vision Centers, your exam is about more than just reading letters on a chart. Even when your sight feels fine, a routine exam protects your long-term vision. During your exam, your doctor will:
- Perform a refraction to determine your precise prescription.
- Evaluate your eye coordination and muscle function.
- Examine the health of the internal and external structures of your eye.
- Discuss personalized solutions for your lifestyle and visual needs.
New Patient Appointments: What to Expect
Specialized Care From Your First Visit
As a new patient, your initial visit will be more comprehensive than a routine exam. We specialize in complex vision and eye health conditions, which often requires advanced testing and extended consultation time. Because of this individualized approach, new patient appointments may take longer than scheduled.
How New Patients Can Prepare
- Complete Forms: Submit all intake forms prior to arrival.
- Arrive Early: Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
- Bring Visual Aids: Include all current glasses, contacts, prisms, and specialty lenses.
- Medical Records: Bring referral notes, imaging, and prior surgical reports.
- Support: Bring necessary mobility aids or a caregiver if assistance is required.
Our Commitment to New Patients
We intentionally design initial visits to be thorough and patient-centered. Thank you for partnering with us as we provide the highest level of specialized care from your very first appointment.
