What will happen?

In addition to a comprehensive eye examination performed by one of our nationally recognized physicians, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic testing facilities and the most advanced, innovative treatments for your condition.

When you schedule your first appointment with Retina Associates of Kentucky, you or your caregiver will receive a secure link either through email or text message to complete your new patient paperwork online prior to your first visit. This is designed to make the registration process easier for you and to increase accuracy and efficiency. All information will go directly into your Retina Associates of Kentucky electronic health record (EHR). If you do not have an email address or cell phone a Retina Associates of KY team member will be happy to assist you when you arrive to your appointment. We kindly ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment. If you need assistance with pre-registration please contact scheduling@retinaky.com.

What to Expect: Learn About Your Eye Exam

On occasion, one of Retina Associates of Kentucky’s patients may be temporarily or permanently residing in a skilled nursing facility (SNF).  In these instances, it is very important we be informed of this, in advance of your visit.  Frequently, facilities may have specific protocols for scheduling, transportation, and communication. Usually, insurance protocols and requirements are affected.  Please be certain to inform us, prior to your visit, should you reside in a skilled nursing facility.  By doing so we can work with your facility and the doctors there to ensure a smooth and coordinated care experience.
