Request an AppointmentWhat to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first visit to Omphroy Eye Care is more than just a routine checkup—it’s the foundation for your ongoing eye health partnership with Dr. Luis C. Omphroy. Plan to spend approximately 60-90 minutes for your comprehensive initial evaluation. This allows Dr. Omphroy adequate time to thoroughly assess your eye health, understand your medical history, and address all your questions and concerns.
During your comprehensive eye exam, we’ll review your complete medical and eye health history, test your vision and determine your prescription, measure your eye pressure, evaluate the health of your eye structures using advanced diagnostic equipment, and perform a dilated retinal examination. Dr. Omphroy will discuss his findings with you clearly and answer any questions about your eye health.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To make your first visit as smooth and efficient as possible, we recommend:
- Complete new patient forms in advance: Visit our online forms page to download and complete your paperwork before your visit
- Bring your insurance card and photo ID: This helps us process your visit efficiently
- Bring your current glasses or contacts: This helps Dr. Omphroy assess your current vision correction
- List your medications: Certain medications can affect your eye health, so please bring a current medication list
- Prepare your questions: Write down any vision concerns or questions you’d like to discuss
- Arrange transportation if needed: If your exam includes pupil dilation, your vision will be temporarily blurry and light-sensitive

Please bring your insurance card, a photo ID, your current glasses or contact lenses, and a list of any medications you take. Completing our new patient forms online in advance also helps speed up your visit.
