Patient Information

What to Expect Your First Visit

Expect your first visit to take 1 to 3 hours. This includes time for patient registration, visual screening tests by an ophthalmic technician, dilation of the pupils, testing, examination by the physician and treatment if needed. We strongly encourage you to bring a driver, as your eyes will be dilated. It is also helpful to have someone with you, as there may be a lot of information to absorb on the first visit.

Service Animals Welcome

Service animals play an important role in ensuring the independence of people with disabilities, and it is therefore our policy to welcome into our facility any animal that is individually trained to assist a person with a disability.

The Retina Associates of Michigan also takes very seriously its obligation to all patients to provide a sterile and uncontaminated environment that minimizes the risk of infection.

In order to balance the above stated goals, The Retina Associates of Michigan has a specific policy relating to Service Animals. If you wish to be accompanied by a Service Animal, please let a staff member know so that they can provide you a copy of the policy and further assist you.
