Review content:
When patients present to us for an annual opthalmologic exam, we take the responsibility of protecting, maintaining and, if possible, enhancing their vision very seriously. We realize how precious eye sight is to every single patient. That is why we request that all patients over age 40 have a dilated examination with us annually. We realize that for some patients it can take up to a half hour and several series of drops just to achieve dilation of the pupils, which while time consuming, allows us to detect macular disease, glaucoma, and other potentially treatable sight threatening conditions that would be missed without dilation. It is not unusual for us to see older patients with more than 5 concurrent ocular conditions that each requires monitoring and more extensive testing. Because of our sensitivity to protect patient confidentiality, we have placed different testing equipment in separate rooms, so that the testing and discussions with doctors and staff remain private and confidential. While we realize the the patient might be brought to a number of rooms to complete the series of tests that the doctor has ordered, it is because of high regard of the patient's rights that we have designed our facility to maintain a professional, respectful and confidential atmosphere. Privacy can only be protected by having individual rooms for each form of testing. The process of testing and dilation, history taking, and examination takes time during the annual eye exam, just as an annual examination with an internist takes more time and may involve an EKG, x-ray and blood tests. Once the tests are complete and the patient is dilated, our board certified subspecialists interpret the tests, examine the patient, and come up with a treatment plan in an efficient and expedient fashion. We hope that patients don't misconstrue our high regard for quality eye care and thorough examination and testing as an imposition on their time or a lack of respect. While we are certain that there are other practices that may take short cuts with testing and forego a thorough dilated retinal examination, there is a reason why the doctors at Pepose Vision Institute have been nominated to the Best Doctors in America by their peers (other eye doctors) for the past 18 years in a row when asked where they would bring a loved one if they needed ophthalmic care and treatment.
