It is a good idea to reserve several hours for your visit so that you’ll have enough time get the treatment you need.
Please note that eye drops that dilate your pupils are often used in the examination. These can temporarily impair your eyesight and cause glare. Because of this, you cannot drive a car on the day of your examination. Sunglasses should be worn on bright days.
