Important note:
Although the eye clinic schedules 30 minute appointments, your actual exam may take longer (45 to 60 minutes or longer) depending on the type of visit. The appointment time does not reflect the time needed for pre-testing, pupil dilation and other tests.

No appointment is needed to see an optician to order eyeglasses. Just bring your current prescription to the eye clinic lobby and select from a wide variety of designer frames, available at 20-40% off suggested retail prices.
