Resources
If you are a new patient, please arrive ten minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to complete your registration and have your chart prepared. You will then be greeted by one of our ophthalmic technicians, who will escort you to the exam room, take your history information, and perform some preliminary testing on your eyes. Don’t forget to bring a list of your current medications and information regarding your general health and any ocular conditions. You will then see your doctor, who will carry out additional testing, explain the results of your examination, and discuss treatment options with you. See our patients testimonials about the procedures and eye treatments at Lynn Eye. You can find the New Patient Forms at the bottom of this page.
Most children under the age of 14 will need to have their eyes dilated as part of a comprehensive eye examination. This procedure allows accurate measurement of the focusing ability (refractive error) of the eyes and proper examination of the back of the eye. The eye drops used in the dilation of children’s eyes are stronger than those used in adults. Consequently, the dilation and blur caused by the drops typically lasts up to 24 hours, making it difficult to read or play sports the rest of the day after the exam.
