At Envision Retina, our goal is to provide you with a thorough evaluation of your vision and retinal health in a comfortable, patient-focused setting. A visit to our clinic is more detailed than a routine eye exam, as we specialize in conditions affecting the retina and macula. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

1. Welcome & Check-In

When you arrive, our front desk team will greet you and guide you through the check-in process. We’ll confirm your insurance details and update your medical and eye history.

2. Initial Testing

Before you see the doctor, our staff will perform baseline tests to gather important information about your eyes. These may include:

• Vision Testing – Measuring how clearly you see at different distances.
• Eye Pressure Measurement – A quick test to check for elevated intraocular pressure, which can signal glaucoma risk.
• Imaging & Retinal Scans – Depending on your condition, specialized imaging (such as OCT scans or fundus photographs) may be taken to provide detailed views of your retina.
• Dilation – Eye drops may be used to enlarge your pupils, allowing for a more complete evaluation of the back of your eye.

3. Meeting with Dr. Samara

You’ll then meet with Dr. Samara, who will review your medical history, discuss any vision concerns or symptoms, and explain the purpose of today’s visit. This is your opportunity to ask questions and share what’s most important to you.

4. Comprehensive Retinal Examination

Dr. Samara will carefully examine the inside of your eyes using advanced equipment. This may include:

• Slit-Lamp Examination – A microscope that allows a clear view of both the front and back structures of your eye.
• Dilated Retinal Exam – A detailed inspection of the retina, macula, and optic nerve.
• Specialized Retinal Tests – Performed if needed to better understand your condition.

5. Review & Discussion

After your exam, Dr. Samara will explain the findings in clear, straightforward terms. If a retinal condition is identified, he will discuss treatment options and answer any questions you may have.

6. In-Office Treatments (If Needed)

Many retina conditions can be treated in our office the same day. Common procedures include laser treatments and injections.

7. Planning Ahead

If ongoing care is needed, we’ll outline a follow-up plan and help schedule your next visit.

8. Billing & Checkout

Before leaving, our team will review any copayments, billing details, or insurance questions and make the process as seamless as possible.

9. After Your Visit

If your eyes were dilated, your vision may be blurry and light-sensitive for a few hours. Bringing sunglasses or arranging for someone to drive you home is recommended.
