What to expect on my first visit at Eye Surgeons of Regina?

At your appointment, a technician will take a detailed medical history, check your vision and eye pressures, take some scans and images of your eyes, and you will have a consultation with Dr. Ko.

How can I make an Appointment?

As Dr. Ko is an Ophthalmologist,a referral is required in order to schedule an appointment. This can be done with your Optometrist or family doctor.

Before Seeing Your Doctor

After check-in, you’ll be invited to wait comfortably in our waiting area. Depending on the nature of your visit, our clinical team will guide you through a series of basic and advanced diagnostic tests. These may include:

Vision checks
Eye pressure measurements
Optical scans and imaging
Cataract and/or retinal assessments
And other specialized evaluations

Some tests may take place in different rooms, but our trained technicians will guide you throughout the process to make things seamless and clear.

Pupil Dilation

For many appointments, especially those requiring a thorough examination or retinal procedures, your eyes may need to be dilated. This is often communicated during your appointment confirmation, but it can also be decided on the day depending on your condition.

Because dilation can affect your ability to drive, we recommend arranging transportation just in case.

Consultation with Your Doctor

Once your testing is complete, you will meet with your doctor to review the results and discuss a personalized treatment plan. They will perform a detailed examination and take the time to explain their findings and recommendations.

Our clinic offers a range of in-office procedures, including:

Intravitreal injections
YAG laser capsulotomy
Retinal laser treatments

They are committed to clear, compassionate communication and will ensure all your questions are answered.

General Questions

Yes. We expect to dilate all patients at every appointment. This allows us to capture better images and scans, and allows Dr. Ko to do a more thorough exam. We do not recommend patients drive while dilated, so we ask that you make arrangements to have someone drive you to and from your appointment. We also recommend that all patients bring sunglasses to their appointment as your eyes will be light sensitive when dilated.
