Questions and answers
Do I need an eye exam if I see fine?
Yes. An exam checks the health of your eyes as well as your vision, and some eye problems cause no change in how you see at first.
How often should I have an exam?
Every one to two years for most adults, and every year or two for children. The doctor tells you what suits you.
Do you work with my vision plan?
We work with many vision plans. Call us or send the form, and we check yours before the visit.
Why was part of my visit billed to medical insurance?
When the doctor looks into an eye problem or checks an eye disease, that work is medical, so it goes to medical insurance. The routine part of the visit goes to your vision plan.
Can I fill my prescription somewhere else?
Yes. Your prescription is yours. We give you a copy after your exam and fitting, and you can fill it anywhere.
Can I have my contact lens prescription?
Yes. We give you a copy after the fitting is complete.
What do I bring to my visit?
Your glasses and contact lenses, a list of your medicines, and your vision and medical insurance cards if you have them.
How much will it cost?
It depends on your plan and on what the doctor does. Our How fees work page explains it, and the front desk checks your plan before the visit.
What if I have an eye emergency?
For sudden vision loss, a curtain over your vision, flashes of light, an eye injury or a chemical splash, call our office right away or go to an emergency room. If you can't reach us, call 911.
