Eye exams
A full eye exam for adults and children
An exam looks at how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. It is the same at all six offices, so you can book wherever the hours suit you.
What to bring
Your current glasses and contact lenses
A list of the medicines you take
Your vision and medical insurance cards, if you have them
Sunglasses, if your eyes will be dilated
What happens at the visit
Plan on about an hour. If your eyes are dilated, they may stay sensitive to light for a few hours.

Step 1: Check in and a few questions

Step 3: Vision testing
You read charts while the doctor tries lenses, to find the prescription that suits you.

Step 4: An eye health check
The doctor looks at the front and the back of each eye, checks the pressure inside them and may dilate them.

Step 5: Your results
The doctor explains what was found, and you leave with a copy of your prescription.
How it is billed
How the exam is billed, in short:
A routine exam
A routine exam is billed to your vision plan.

If you pay yourself
Ask for a written estimate when you book, and we give it to you before the visit.
Questions we hear
Do I need an eye exam if I see fine?
Yes. Many eye problems start with no signs, and an exam can find them early. It also tells you whether your glasses or contact lenses still suit your eyes.
How often should I have an exam?
Many people come every year or two. Children, people with diabetes or a family history of eye disease, and anyone over 60 may need to come more often. Your doctor tells you when to return.
What do I bring to my exam?
Bring your current glasses and contact lenses, a list of the medicines you take, your vision plan or insurance card, and a photo ID.
