FAQs

Our comprehensive eye exam is 9, and payment is due at the time of your visit.

This exam includes:

• Vision testing

• A thorough eye health evaluation

• Pupil dilation

• Digital retinal imaging
   

If you need contact lenses, exams range from 5–0, depending on the type of lenses and how complex the fitting is. Visits for medical eye concerns range from –0, depending on your needs.

Insurance plans can vary quite a bit. Some cover exams and eyewear, while others offer partial coverage or discounts. Our insurance coordinator is happy to help review your benefits. We do ask that you provide your insurance information before your appointment and understand that it’s ultimately your responsibility to know your coverage.

Yes. Dilation is an important part of a comprehensive eye exam and allows the doctor to thoroughly check the health of your eyes. Many eye conditions—like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, retinal holes/tears, and diabetic eye disease—can only be detected through dilation.

Your vision may be blurry and sensitive to light for a few hours afterward, so please plan accordingly. If you’re unable to be dilated on the day of your appointment, we can complete part of the exam and schedule dilation for another day. An additional fee may apply.

Digital Retinal Imaging is a quick, safe, and painless screening that takes detailed images of the inside of your eyes. It helps us monitor your eye health over time and gives you a chance to see exactly what your doctor sees. DRI works along with dilation, not as a replacement. It’s included in our 9 comprehensive exam.

Many people are surprised to learn that private practices are often just as affordable—if not more so—than large retail chains. Because we’re doctor-owned, we’re able to offer high-quality eyewear at competitive prices.

Refraction is the part of the exam where we determine your glasses prescription. Many medical insurance plans don’t cover this, and they often don’t cover digital retinal imaging either.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition in children where distance vision is blurry but near vision is clear. It often starts during the school years and can gradually worsen as a child grows.

Myopia control is a way to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. While regular glasses or contact lenses help your child see clearly, myopia control focuses on protecting their long-term eye health by slowing how quickly their prescription increases.

As myopia increases, it can raise the risk of eye problems later in life. Slowing myopia during childhood may help reduce those risks and support healthier vision as your child gets older.

Myopia control works best when started early, often between the ages of 5 and 12. However, older children and teens may still benefit. If your child’s prescription changes frequently, it’s a good idea to talk with your optometrist about myopia control.

There are several safe and effective options, including:

• Specialty soft contact lenses designed for myopia control

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses worn overnight

• Myopia control glasses

• Low-dose atropine eye drops in certain cases
   

Your optometrist will help you choose the option that best fits your child’s eyes, age, comfort level, and daily routine.

Yes. Myopia control treatments are designed to correct your child’s vision while also helping slow progression, so your child can see well at school, during activities, and at play.
