If your eyes are dilated...
If you are uncomfortable driving after having your eyes dilated, please arrange to have someone drive you to and from your appointment. Dilation time is different for everyone and could last several hours.

Will you be selecting new glasses?
If your eyes will be dilated and you are planning to purchase new glasses, please try to arrive early enough to browse our Optical Department and select your frames prior to having your eyes dilated. You will be able to make a better selection when you can see more clearly.
