WHAT TO EXPECT 

Your doctor will take a history.

After testing your vision and doing a tonometry (testing your eye pressure) the eyes will be examined.

You may need drops to dilate your pupils. This will help your doctor to examine the inside of your eye. Pupil dilatation can take quite a time in some patients.  Dilated pupils are sensitive to light and blurs your vision.

Please note: It is not advised to drive a car after pupil dilatation. Please mention this to your doctor.

Depending on your diagnosis you may also need to visit different evaluation stations to do further tests.
