Because most insurances cover either the cost of contacts or that of glasses, many consider the contact lens evaluation a part of the materials cost rather than part of the eye exam.
The cost of a contact lens evaluation varies based on the type of lenses that the doctor prescribes and the level of continued care needed. For more information please call our office.
No. A contact lens evaluation is a separate set of tests from an annual eye exam. This evaluation is a requirement every year for the issuing of a contact lens prescription, even if you have worn contacts previously.
Contact lenses are a method of correcting vision. It actually comes into “contact” with the eye and changes the way that light is focused in the eye. Because contacts are a different distance from the eye than glasses, the prescription for contacts can be very different from that of glasses.
