Most medical insurance plans do not cover material in optical and/or for contact lens fittings and contact lenses. If you have a benefit within your plan, it is up to the patient to inform us of this benefit. We highly recommend patients to contact your insurance company with any benefit questions regarding materials and exams.
In cases of VSP or Eyemed, each patient's plan is different. We will pull an authorization the day of your service to verify your benefit for that year.
Contact Lens Questions
A routine exam consists of a comprehensive exam and refraction. A contact lens evaluation entails more procedures to make sure the contact lens still fits properly on the eye and that we have the correct prescription. This fee also includes any contact lens related visits for the following year. The fee for the contact evaluation varies from patient to patient, depending on prescription and if you have been a previous contact lens wearer or not. Contact us for additional assistance.
Eye Health & Glasses Questions
Allergies are probably the most common reason along with a dry environment. Contact lens over wear, negative reaction to contact lens solutions, and certain medications can also cause dry eye. We recommend using eye drops to help alleviate some dryness. If you have additional questions, contact us for assistance.
The Optomap is a non-invasive procedure that allows your doctor to see a much broader and more detailed view of the retina than is possible with conventional methods. When reviewed, the scan becomes a permanent part of your medical file, enabling your doctor to make important comparisons should potential vision threatening conditions show themselves at a future examination.
Without computer eyeglasses, many computer users often end up with blurred vision, eye strain, and headaches — all symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome. Worse still, many people try to compensate for their blurred vision by leaning forward, or by tipping their head to look through the bottom portion of their glasses. Both of these actions can result in a sore neck, sore shoulders and a sore back. If you are experience any of the symptoms, please contact us for additional help.
