Will my eyes be dilated during my exam?2018-12-27T12:41:30+00:00

What are retinal photos and why do I need them?2018-12-27T12:46:39+00:00

The retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that covers about 65 percent of its interior surface. Photosensitive cells called rods and cones in the retina convert incident light energy into signals that are carried to the brain by the optic nerve. Retinal photos allow your doctor to evaluate your retina the day of your exam and furthermore document its appearance for comparison at subsequent exams. This is very important to maintaining good vision for life.

What is the difference between an eye exam and a contact lens evaluation?2018-10-31T19:21:22+00:00

What is a polycarbonate lens?2018-10-31T18:05:05+00:00

A polycarbonate lens is made of a lightweight material, yet is highly impact-resistant. This makes polycarbonate lenses a good choice for sports lenses and general wear for patients of all ages, especially children.

A digital lens is one that is surfaced at multiple curves rather than the usual two. This allows for the most precise vision in a lens customized for your frame and prescription.

If used properly, contact lenses are safe for your eyes. However, there are risks involved with contact lens wearers. The most common is the failure to comply with your maintenance plan (such as wearing your contact lenses too long, not cleaning them properly, etc.). Overuse of contacts can cause eye irritation or infections that can have long-term effects on your vision. Royal Optix urges you to follow all instructions carefully and to contact us immediately if you suspect a problem with your contact lenses.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the fit of your contacts, please call us. We will work with you to make any necessary changes.

Why does my insurance not cover a contact lens evaluation with the exam?2019-01-02T00:13:18+00:00

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.

What is a contact lens?2019-01-02T00:20:21+00:00

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.
