Please allow at least 1.5 hours for your initial appointment. Prior to seeing the ophthalmologist, an orthoptist will assess you and your eyes. It is usual for your pupils to be dilated with drops to allow the ophthalmologist to perform a thorough examination of your eyes. The drops can take up to 20 minutes to take effect, after which you will see the ophthalmologist, who will complete the assessment and examination. 
It is advisable that you do not drive after your pupils have been dilated until your vision returns to normal (usually 2 hours after appointment). 
We recommend that you bring sunglasses to your appointment to reduce glare resulting from pupillary dilatation.
