A comprehensive eye exam includes an evaluation of your overall eye health, detailed vision testing, and a personalized glasses prescription. In some cases, medical insurance may cover routine eye exams and additional services. For this reason, we ask that you provide both your vision and medical insurance information prior to your appointment so we can determine the most appropriate way to bill your visit and maximize your benefits.
If your doctor identifies a medical concern requiring additional testing or treatment beyond routine vision care — such as dry eye disease, glaucoma evaluation, or further retinal assessment — these services are considered medical care and may be billed through your medical insurance when applicable.
If you have any questions about your coverage, our team is happy to help you understand your benefits before your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For your eye exam in Austin, bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of medications, and any relevant medical or vision history. This helps our optometrist provide the most accurate, personalized care for your vision and eye health.
-
Routine eye exams are recommended every 1–2 years for most adults. Children may need exams more frequently, especially if they wear glasses or are in myopia management programs. Seniors or patients with chronic eye conditions may also need more frequent monitoring.
-
Optomap® retinal imaging captures an ultra-widefield image of your retina in seconds, allowing us to detect eye diseases without the need for dilation drops for most patients. It’s fast, comfortable, and creates a permanent digital record to monitor your eye health over time.
-
A contact lens exam measures your eyes for lens fit, prescription, and corneal health. Our office offers fittings for daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses, including astigmatism and multifocal options. You can receive a contact lens prescription alone, but we often recommend a complete eye exam to ensure overall eye health.
-
Yes! Our pediatric patients can be evaluated for contact lens suitability, and we provide guidance and training for safe, comfortable lens use. Many children also benefit from myopia management programs using specialized lenses or low-dose atropine drops to slow nearsightedness progression.
-
Glasses and contact lens prescriptions have expiration dates because vision can change over time, and eye health needs regular monitoring. Updating your prescription ensures clear, comfortable vision and reduces the risk of eye strain or undetected eye disease.
-
For children, dilated exams and Optomap® imaging are essential for both eye health and accurate vision correction. Kids often over-focus during exams, which can hide their true prescription. Optomap® imaging not only provides a non-invasive alternative for many children but also creates a permanent digital record of the retina. This documentation helps us track changes over time, monitor eye health, and ensure your child’s prescription remains accurate as they grow. Dilation allows our optometrist to get an accurate measurement for glasses or contact lenses, ensuring your child’s prescription truly matches their vision needs. It also helps detect early signs of eye disease, supporting long-term eye health.
