If I need
surgery, what hospital will I go to?

patients are treated at Massachusetts Eye and ear Infirmary in

Will my
pupils be dilated? Do I need someone to drive me home?
Please read more about this topic: Dilated Eye Examinations
When I see an
eye doctor another person sees me first and then the doctor comes in, why?
Usually the first person is a
Technician or Assistant. They may gather information about your eyes
and general health. They may perform technical tests and gather data
for the doctor. This allows the doctor to have information prior to
seeing you and to spend more time examining the health of your eyes.
Will I be
able to get glasses at your office? How quickly?
Most sites have Optical Shops on the
premises and some have labs on site to allow you to get glasses very quickly.
