Visit Our Experienced Eye Doctors
Our highly qualified and licensed eye doctors provide comprehensive eye exams for the entire family. Annual eye exams are essential to ensure your eyes remain healthy and your vision remains clear. Our eye doctors can also help you find the right prescription for your eyeglasses and/or contacts.
How Often Should You Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
At Clarkson Eyecare, we recommend that adults over 20 have a comprehensive eye exam at least every 2 years. For adults over 65, or anyone with certain genetic risk factors, a yearly exam is recommended. Staying on top of your vision helps catch small shifts in your vision before they become bigger challenges. If you ever notice sudden changes in your vision—or something just doesn’t feel right—it’s important to schedule an appointment right away. With regular care, you can feel confident that your eyes stay healthy for life.
How Much Does an Eye Exam Cost?
The cost of a comprehensive eye exam can vary depending on the technology used and whether you have vision or medical insurance. In most cases, the exam fee covers both the prescription check and a full evaluation of your eye health. Our comprehensive eye exam starts at $119 (in Florida, the cost starts at $199 with $100 dollars toward the purchase of materials). If additional testing or services are recommended by your doctor, or you purchase eyeglasses or contact lenses, these rates will be reviewed at the time of your appointment.
Many vision insurance plans cover the cost of a routine comprehensive exam, but you may still have a co-pay. Some medical insurance policies also cover eye exams if you have diabetes or glaucoma. Without insurance, pricing can differ from one practice to another, but most patients can expect to pay a separate fee for the exam. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) can often be used to pay for your exam and any prescription eyewear you purchase afterward.
What to Expect at Your Comprehensive Eye Exam
At the start of your exam, your eye doctor will ask about any vision changes or concerns you’ve noticed. If you wear glasses or contacts, bring them with you so we can check how well your current prescription is working.
During your visit, your eye doctor will evaluate both your vision and your overall eye health. This typically includes:
A Vision Test: Measuring how clearly you see at different distances and determining your prescription.
An Eye Health Evaluation: Using specialized lights and lenses to examine the front and back of your eyes, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels.
Eye Pressure and Other Tests: Screening for glaucoma and other issues that can affect long-term vision.
A comprehensive eye exam goes far beyond a simple vision screening. Screenings—like the ones done at schools, health fairs, or the DMV—only check how well you see at a distance. A comprehensive exam performed by an optometrist identifies refractive errors and medical eye conditions, allowing potential issues to be caught early.
