When you exit the elevator, turn left and proceed to the last waiting area. There is a large fish tank and a playroom for your child's enjoyment. Parking is conveniently located next to the Casey Eye Institute. When you enter the garage, the attendant will give you a card to be validated by the clinic receptionist. If your child is having a complete eye examination, plan on spending 60 to 90 minutes in the office.
Most first visits require complete examinations.
Additional tests or extended consultation may increase the length of the visit. The eye examination will include measuring how well your child sees, checking eye alignment and binocular vision, looking for any problems within the eyes themselves and determining if glasses are needed. A complete examination requires dilating the pupils with eyedrops. Dilation may last 24 hours or more after the visit. During that time, your child may be sensitive to bright light and experience some degree of blurry vision.
