What patients ask first

Yes. Some changes in the eye cause no symptoms at first, and a prescription can change slowly.

Children, before first grade and then every year or two. Adults, every one to two years, or yearly if you wear lenses or are over 65.

We work with many vision plans and medical plans. Call with your plan's name and we check before your visit.

A visit about an eye problem or an eye disease goes to medical insurance, and a routine exam goes to a vision plan. Many visits mix both. How fees work explains it.

Yes. Your prescription is yours, and you can fill it anywhere.

Yes. You get a copy when the fitting is finished and you are comfortable in the lenses.

Your glasses and contact lenses, your vision and medical insurance cards and a list of your medicines.

It depends on the visit and on your plan. We tell you what each part costs before you decide, and you can ask for a written estimate. How fees work has the details.

For sudden vision loss, a curtain over your vision, a sudden shower of floaters, an eye injury or a chemical splash, call us now or go to the nearest emergency room. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Doctors move between offices, so call and ask for a particular doctor. Your chart is the same everywhere.
