## How do I book an eye exam online?

Open our [online scheduling](https://akereyecenter.com/book) and it starts in a new tab. Pick the office, name a doctor or leave it to us, and choose a time. Your confirmation comes right away, even at midnight. Would you rather talk to a person? Call us during office hours and we will book it while you are on the phone. You can also text us the office you prefer and roughly when you are free. We text back with a time when we open.

## Can I get a same-day eye exam?

Often, and always for something urgent. We keep room for three or four same-day visits every day for problems that cannot wait, such as sudden blur, a painful red eye, or new flashes and floaters. Call us first thing and tell us what is going on, and we will say which office can see you soonest. A routine exam can usually be fit in within a few days. For what counts as urgent, see [emergency eye care](https://akereyecenter.com/services/emergency-eye-care).

## Can I walk in for an eye exam?

Please call first. We book routine exams ahead, because the room we keep each day is for eyes that hurt today. A call to (321) 269-2021 finds you the soonest opening at Downtown or Playalinda, which beats waiting in a lobby. If you want a specific doctor or an August morning, book further ahead, since late summer fills first. Our guide to [when to book an eye exam](https://akereyecenter.com/blog/best-time-to-book-an-eye-exam) has the busy weeks.

## How long does a comprehensive eye exam take?

About an hour at either office. Your first visit with us runs a little longer, because we dilate every new patient and the drops need time to work. A contact lens fitting adds time too, since we check the lens on your eye and, for a first pair, teach you to put it in and take it out. Say so when you book and we set aside the time. More on the visit is on our [eye exam page](https://akereyecenter.com/services/eye-exams).

## What is included in a comprehensive eye exam?

Your vision and the health of your eyes, both. We check how sharply you see and find your prescription on a Marco digital refracting system, which flips between your old and new lenses so you can see the difference. We look at the front of each eye under the microscope, measure the pressure inside the eye, test your side vision, and take an Optomap picture of your retina. Then the doctor goes over it with you on the screen. See the [instruments we use](https://akereyecenter.com/services/advanced-technology).

## Why do eye doctors dilate your eyes?

The drops open the pupil so we can see all the way to the edge of the retina and the optic nerve, in three dimensions. The Optomap picture shows most of the retina, but not all of it. We dilate every new patient, patients with diabetes, macular degeneration, or glaucoma once a year, and everyone else about every three years. Near vision blurs and bright light bothers you for a few hours afterward, so bring sunglasses and think about a ride home.

## What should I bring, and do I need new patient forms?

Bring your current glasses, your contact lens boxes if you wear them, your insurance card, and a list of your medicines. New patients can fill in our [patient forms](https://akereyecenter.com/patients/forms) online first. They take about ten minutes on a phone or a computer, and there is nothing to print. If you would rather not do them online, come a few minutes early and we will help you at the front desk. Sunglasses are worth bringing too, in case we dilate your eyes.

## Is there an eye doctor open near me in Titusville?

Both of our offices are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, on S Washington Ave. We open at 10am on the first and third Wednesday of the month. Downtown is upstairs at 338 S Washington Ave, with our lot behind the building and an elevator just inside the door. Playalinda, at 1114 S Washington Ave, is all on one floor. One number answers both, (321) 269-2021. Parking and directions for each are on our [offices page](https://akereyecenter.com/locations).
