Ahead of your appointment, please compile a complete list of all of your medications and their dosages, including over-the-counter medications. Please submit requests to all of your treating physicians to share your medical information, including office notes, CT and MRI scan reports, and lab test results. Please have the imaging facility send your imaging studies to our office. Lastly, it’s best to arrange for someone else to drive you to our clinic, and to bring sunglasses. Dr. Bixenman will likely need to dilate your pupils, which will make you more sensitive to sunlight.
Dr. Wayne Bixenman is an exceptionally well-qualified clinician. As a board-certified neuro-ophthalmologist, he treats patients with rare and complex eye disorders that other ophthalmologists can’t.

Expect to undergo comprehensive diagnostics before Dr. Bixenman develops a treatment plan for you. Your initial appointment may take several hours. You can expect the following:
You may need to have additional diagnostic testing. Dr. Bixenman will explain all of the diagnostic tests you’ll need, discuss your diagnosis at length with you, and discuss your treatment options. Thorough patient education is one of the cornerstones of our mission here at Arizona Eye Consultants.
