What to ask about the evaluation
Ask what the appointment involves, who performs the assessment and how the clinician explains appropriate options. Find out which preparation instructions and records you need.
If you wear contact lenses
Ask the clinic for instructions specific to your lenses and examination. Do not infer preparation timing from another traveler’s experience.
Plan around the visits your clinician requires
Ask about follow-up appointments and how the clinician will advise on activities and return travel. Keep that advice separate from general sightseeing suggestions.
