Frequently Asked Questions about Appointments
Emergencies
Of course, we treat eye emergencies without previous booking, but they must be notified by phone before coming.
If given the situation that we could not treat your emergency in a reasonable time, we would refer you to another eye specialist in the area.
Your visit
The exploration of visual function and the eye examination is complex and requires significantly more time than in the case of other medical specialties. A complete examination usually means a time investment between 1-2 hours and includes:
- Personal data collection.
- Personal data collection.
- Exploration of visual function and eye motility
- Exploration of the anterior segment of the eye
- Measurement of intraocular pressure
- Exploration of the fundus (background of the eye)
Pupil dilation with special eye drops is necessary for fundus exploration. Afterwards patient´s vision will be limited and driving may not be possible for a couple of hours. We recommend you to either have someone who can drive you back home, or you planning enough time to recover before driving again.
If your particular problem requires more than one visit, additional tests or a special monitoring, we will organize successive appointments according to your needs.
As every patient and every case is different, an exact time schedule can sometimes be difficult to be kept and we can’t always avoid some delay. Please have understanding about it, consider that any of us may one day be the cause of a delay at a doctor’s practice.
