Eye exams for children and adults
A yearly exam checks how the eyes focus and how healthy they are, and keeps a record to compare with next time.
Most children and adults have an exam every year. Your doctor may suggest a different schedule based on your eyes, your health and your family's history.
Your prescription is yours. We give you a copy after your exam and fitting, and you can fill it anywhere.

Billing and what to bring
How it is billed
A routine exam is usually billed to your vision plan. A visit for an eye problem, a disease check or a follow-up is billed to medical insurance. Many visits mix the two, and we tell you which is which.

About the exam
Do I need an exam if I see fine?
Yes. Some eye conditions cause no symptoms early on, and a child can see blurry for years without saying so.
How long does the exam take?
About 45 minutes. A visit with a contact lens fitting or a dilated check takes longer.
Will my eyes be dilated?
Sometimes. If they are, close work is blurry and light is bright for a few hours, so bring sunglasses.
