What should I expect during my eye exam and visit?

Accepted Answer

You can expect your entire MyEyeDr. visit to take between 30 and 60 minutes. Here’s how it usually goes: Our front desk staff will check you in and quickly review your paperwork and insurance information. After that, we’ll invite you back to do some pre-exam testing. Feel free to try on new frames while you wait. Next comes the eye exam. Our optometrist will ask you questions about your eye health and vision, then they’ll look into your eyes using specialized lenses.

Pro tip: Cut down on time in the waiting room by completing your pre-appointment forms online before your visit. Keep an eye out for a “check-in” email a few days before your exam date.

After we determine your new prescription, you can sit down with an optician to shop for new eye wear. It takes about a week for our lab to make new glasses. Once they’re ready, we’ll call you in for your final fitting, where we make sure your new glasses fit well and you can see clearly. Contact lens orders usually take a few days. We can ship contacts directly to your home or you can pick them up at MyEyeDr. Long Point.
