The patient undergoes a comprehensive eye examination. The procedure includes dilatation and other necessary tests, which are prescribed according to the condition of the patient’s eye. It may take 2 to 3 hours for a complete eye examination. If the patient requires any specialty referral he/she may require 3 to 4 hours at the hospital.
Any patient who enters the hospital for the first time is called a new patient; any further visit by the same patient will be recorded as a review visit.
