I also got my eyes tested at the regular eye doc a couple months after my fall. It was a brutal exam, but it made me feel better that everything was ok, even my prescription hadn't changed. I know their exams are not as comprehensive as some other docs, but I figured it was an easy place to start.

Definitely bring sunglasses to wear home, especially if they are going to dilate your pupils. I wore my regular glasses with the regular sunglasses clip and then they had disposable glaucoma glasses that I wore over all that to go home.

It was disorienting and a bit painful, but I felt it was worth while. I came straight home and went right to sleep for a few hours.

I would personally wait for your neurology appointment and talk to them about it and then decide if any old optometrist will do or if they will want to refer you to a specialist. I'm sure they will suggest something for you.

Best of luck.
