What To Bring With You For Your Exam

When you come to our office to see Dr. Hovander for a routine exam, there are a few things that will help us determine your best possible prescription and help in keeping your eyes healthy.

Using a tape measure, determine the distance from the tip of your nose to the reading material (book, magazine, etc.). Note that distance in inches. Do the same for your computer, the tip of your nose to the computer monitor.
Bring your current glasses, even if you wear contact lenses full-time. It's OK to wear your contact lenses when you come in for your exam.
A list of your current medications and supplements.
Your vision and medical insurance information card, ID number, etc.
