Transcript

Hello, my name is Dr. Kelleher. I'm an ophthalmologist.

What happens at an ophthalmology visit?

An ophthalmology visit often starts with questions about your eyes and health, then a vision check with an eye chart.

Eye pressure is usually measured with a puff of air or a small tool that touches the eye, often after numbing drops. The ophthalmologist looks at each eye through a microscope called a slit lamp. Drops that widen the pupils are often used to see the back of the eye. These drops can blur vision and make light seem brighter afterward.

Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your ophthalmologist can explain what your own exam found.

Thanks for watching.
