FAQ
if i am seeing fine, why do i need an eye exam?
Glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration are just a few of the common eye diseases which affect older patients.
Even if your vision is fine, annual eye health exams can detect eye and systemic diseases in the early stages when it is easier to prevent vision loss. Help maintain quality of life with good eye care.
People with diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and taking certain medications are especially at risk for eye diseases and vision loss.
Everyone wants to protect the eyesight and overall health for themselves and their loved ones - that is why annual eye exams are important. Regular eye care and exams can protect and prevent many eye diseases, if detected early. Today, a whole range of eye problems can be treated successfully without total vision loss.
Many vision problems can begin at an early age too, so it's important for children to receive proper eye care from the time they are infants.
When should my children have their eye exams?
Children as young as six months old should have their eyes examined for signs of eye muscle problems or abnormal vision development. Students especially need a comprehensive eye health and vision examination every year to ensure good performance in school. It is also recommended that adults have eye exams on a annual basis to check for a glasses prescription and rule out ocular or systemic health issues.
do you take my insurance?
We participate with most major medical and vision plan insurance including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, VSP, and Eyemed. Vision Plans such as VSP and Eyemed help pay for wellness exams and eyeglasses or contact lenses. When you care is medical in nature, your medical insurance such as Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield and more, help pay some of the costs. Please help us by providing all of your current insurance cards at each visit so we can keep your records up to date and we can help you make the most of your benefits.
Can i wear contact lenses?
New advances in contact lens technology allow most people to successfully wear contact lenses, even those with astigmatism or bifocal requirements. You will quickly recognize that we go beyond the “one size fits all” approach to contact lenses and understand the importance of personal attention when it comes to your vision and comfort.
how much do eyeglasses cost?
If some other optical providers offer One Hour Service, why should you wait? The most common problem we encounter is a patient unhappy with their glasses made at a discounted eyeglass facility. A high quality pair of eyeglasses can't be delivered in a "fast food" style.
