Any time you go for a routine eye exam plan to be dilated. It allows the doctor to exam the back of your eye and is part of a complete exam. Lots of people want to have their exams first thing in the morning and then go into work right after, and we tell them it's not a good idea if they need to see up close for their work.

DJFyrewolf36 you shouldn't be having your eye 'poked' to get a pressure reading. If your pressures are higher than they should be that is probably why they have you coming back. You may have ocular hypertension but that isn't glaucoma. It is something that needs following though.

My pet peeve at work is people who wear contacts and then they rip their last pair and are overdue for an exam and want to come in right away. They usually have no back-up glasses either.
