What MEDICATIONS do you take (and how often). If you cannot remember the name of a medication, please just list what it is taken for. Don’t forget over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and home remedies ________________________________________________________

KNOWN ALLERGIES (also specify reaction; e.g., hives, nausea, difficulty breathing, etc.) _____________________________________________ PUPILLARY DILATION is a standard procedure for each comprehensive eye exam. Dilation assists in detection and diagnosis of glaucoma, cataracts, retinal and neurological disease and aids in diagnosing some causes of headaches. The effects of dilation are light sensitivity and mild blur. These may last an average of 4 to 5 hours. You will be able to drive home in most cases, but drive carefully. We strongly suggest that you are dilated with each full exam. Please indicate your preference. There is no additional charge for this service. (Pupil dilation is a covered service if you have vision insurance.)

I DO want my eyes dilated. _______ (initial) I DO NOT want dilation. _______ (initial) I would like to reschedule dilation. ______ (initial)

The above information is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and is only for use in my treatment and/or processing and billing. I understand that payments for all visits are due and payable at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made, and that fees paid for eye examinations and contact lens fittings/evaluations are non-refundable. Follow-up visits preceding the final prescription release for contacts are free of charge. If my insurance information is unable to be verified or changes after the exam it will be my (the patient) responsiblility to file for proper reimbursment. {management will do our best to assist with this but it is still your responsiblity to know your benefits before the exam}

(Often patients have vision insurance and never know about it. Or sometimes the vision policy is only a discount plan. Your help with the above information will help us help you get your full benefits.)

(Also, sometimes the information in your insurance company’s database does not match your true benefits. However, it is the information in the database that controls our receiving proper payment from your insurance carrier. All bills and transactions will be made based on the information in your insurance company’s database. It is your resposibility to file with your insurance company for the difference in payment if this information changes after your exam. We will do everything we can to prevent these problems but we are limited to a degree due to the way electronic information is handled in modern times.)
