Routine Examinations
Routine examinations are an overall comprehensive, wellness overview. Each exam includes:
- Visual assessment including a refraction (eyeglasses prescription check, the “better 1 or 2” test)
- Binocular vision assessment to ensure both eyes are working together well.
- Glaucoma screening and risk assessment
- Evaluation of the surface and interior of the eye
- Examination of the internal eye, retina, and optic nerve
- Recommended option to include digital widefield retinal imaging (included with self pay patients, upgrade for insured patients)
If any abnormalities or risks are discovered during your wellness examination, any additional visits and/or testing can be submitted to your medical insurance or may quality for our chronic care package.
In addition to routine examination, we also offer contact lens examinations.

- Visual and function assessment of current contact lenses
- Corneal topography to assess the power and contour of the surface of the eye
- Assessment of appropriate positioning and health prospects of contact lens wear
- Assessment of ongoing contact lens candidacy and impact on longterm health of the surface of the eye.
- Consultation and trialing alternative contact lens options, when appropriate.
- Various lens types and prescription needs may require additional consultation and follow-up creating a range of contact lens evaluation fees, from $40 for basic renewals up to $925 for complex corneal disease, post-surgical/graft, orthokeratology fits.
Urgent Eyecare Visits
Our office provides urgent eyecare to those with an immediate need, often with same-day appointments.
- Brief Urgent Care Visits are often for new onset symptoms on the surface of the eye such as pain, discomfort, redness, pink eye, etc.
- Extended Urgent Care Visits usually involve a more extensive analysis of internal eye symptoms such as new onset floaters, flashing lights, new and rapid onset blurred vision. Some of these conditions may need to manage with a tertiary provider in which we will help coordinate care.
