Visit Our Experienced Eye Doctors
Our licensed eye doctors offer comprehensive eye exams for patients of all ages. Yearly exams are important for maintaining healthy eyes and clear vision, and our team can also determine the correct prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.
How Often Should You Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
At EyeCare Associates, we recommend adults have a comprehensive eye exam every two years, and yearly exams for those over 65 or anyone with certain risk factors. Regular checkups help detect vision changes early and prevent small issues from becoming bigger concerns.
If you experience sudden changes in vision or something feels off, it is important to schedule a visit promptly. Consistent care helps protect your eye health for life.
How Much Does an Eye Exam Cost?
The cost of a comprehensive eye exam can vary based on the technology used and whether you have vision or medical insurance. Typically, your exam fee includes both a prescription check and a full assessment of your eye health. At EyeCare Associates, comprehensive eye exams start at $119. If your doctor recommends additional testing or if you choose to purchase eyeglasses or contact lenses, those costs will be reviewed with you during your visit.
Many vision insurance plans help cover routine eye exams, although a co-pay may still apply. Certain medical insurance plans may also cover exams for conditions such as diabetes or glaucoma. Without insurance, pricing will vary by practice, but most patients can expect a separate fee for the exam itself. You can often use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to pay for your exam and any prescription eyewear you decide to purchase.
What to Expect at Your Comprehensive Eye Exam
At the beginning of your visit, your eye doctor will ask about any vision changes or concerns you may have. If you currently wear glasses or contact lenses, be sure to bring them so we can evaluate how well your prescription is working.
During the exam, your doctor will assess both your vision and your overall eye health. This usually includes:
Vision Testing: Measuring how clearly you can see at various distances and determining the prescription you need.
Eye Health Assessment: Using specialized instruments to examine the front and back of your eyes, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels.
Eye Pressure and Additional Screenings: Checking for glaucoma and other conditions that can affect long-term vision.
A comprehensive eye exam is much more detailed than a basic vision screening. Screenings—like those done at schools, health fairs, or the DMV—only evaluate how well you see at a distance. A full exam performed by an optometrist can identify refractive issues and detect medical eye conditions early, helping protect your vision over time.
