Patients interested in contact lenses can also receive a contact lens evaluation during their appointment. In addition, we provide medical eye exams to diagnose and manage a variety of eye conditions.
Dilation usually only affects near vision unless you have advanced cataracts. If you have advanced cataracts, dilation can affect distance vision and driving is not recommended. In this case, having a driver is recommended.
