What happens at the visit
Results vary from person to person. The doctor tells you what the findings mean for you.
- 01
Step 1: Tell us what you noticed
The doctor asks what changed, when it started and whether it comes and goes.
- 02
Step 2: A careful look
We look at the front and the back of the eye, and we may take pictures of the inside.
- 03
Step 3: What we found
The doctor explains it in plain words and says what comes next.

Step 4: Follow-up or a referral
Some problems need a second visit with us. Others need an ophthalmologist, and we send your records.
How it is billed
A visit about a problem with your eyes is usually billed to medical insurance, not to a vision plan.
An eye problem
A red eye, an irritated eye or a follow-up is billed to medical insurance.
A routine exam
A check-up with no problem is billed to a vision plan. If we find something, the doctor says which part is billed where.
If you pay yourself
We tell you the fee before the visit starts and give you a written estimate on request.
