At Eye Associates of Lancaster, your personalized care is important to us. That's why we always focus on providing the finest level of eye care possible to you and your entire family.

The Importance of Eye Care

Vision is precious and at Eye Associates of Lancaster, our doctors provide comprehensive eye care for all ages--- from infants to the elderly. We have a unique understanding of your special needs, both as a patient and as a person.

Professional eye care is an important aspect of your total health care and regular eye examinations can help to diagnose problems that if undetected could put your vision at risk. With routine eye examinations, conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and more, can be detected and treated in the earliest stages when treatment is most effective.

Our experienced staff understands that you are an individual with questions and concerns. We take the time to explain your diagnosis and treatment, making you feel as comfortable as possible. Not only are we trained to care for your eyes, but we are committed to caring for you.

Appointments

To make an appointment, call the Eye Associates of Lancaster office that is most convenient to you. Our receptionist will schedule your appointment and answer any questions you may have. Be sure to tell the receptionist if you have any special concerns or needs, so that she will schedule adequate time for your appointment. For most appointments, you should allow an hour to an hour-and-a-half.

Cancellations

If you must cancel your appointment, please call the office as soon as possible. Your courtesy will make it possible for us to serve our patients more efficiently.

When You Visit

If you are coming for a first visit or for an eye examination with dilation, please allow extra time. Normally, we use eye drops to dilate the eyes which allows for a complete and thorough examination. These drops may temporarily blur your vision and make your eyes sensitive to light. You may want to bring sunglasses with you and make arrangements for someone to drive you home. Be sure to bring your most recent pair of glasses with you.

* Emergencies * In case of an emergency that occurs outside of regular office hours, call the office and our medical answering service will contact the doctor on call. If you cannot reach the physician and it is an extreme emergency, such as trauma, bleeding, infection, or severe pain, report to the Emergency Room of Lancaster General Hospital and a doctor will be on call.
