What will happen to me at my appointment?
After you arrive, you will be checked into the data base and a medical record will be generated. You will then be called into an eye examination room by one of Dr Kert’s specialised technicians where your vision, eye pressures and pupils will be assessed. Other ancillary testing may be performed prior to your review with Dr Kert. In most cases dilating eye drops will be placed in the eyes that will blur your vision for 1-3 hours. After a period of time, Dr Kert will carefully and thoroughly examine your eyes and discuss the need for further testing or a particular treatment.
Will I be required to pay for my appointment on the day?
Please notify us if you have any difficulties in relation to our fees as soon as possible. Every effort is made to estimate quotes for likely diagnostic tests prior to your visit with us.
