FAQ

While we don’t require a referral, we do require chart notes from your current or previous eye care provider prior to your appointment so we can better understand your history. We want to know exactly what contact lenses you’ve tried before and why they didn’t work.

We accept several types of both vision and medical insurance. Prior to your first visit, we will run a benefits check to see if out-of-pocket costs apply. At your first visit, we will discuss whether your insurance covers the costs of the lenses.

We accept the following insurance:

• VSP
• Davis Vision
• Priority Health
• Medicare
• Medicaid
• McLaren Health
• United Health Care
• Blue Cross Blue Shield

Because these are custom lenses and made to fit your eyes, it takes several visits to get the proper fit. Plan on at least four visits:

(1) the initial consultation exam to discuss options;

(2) the lens evaluation;

(3) the lens dispense; and

(4) at least one follow up to get the proper fit. We may need more follow ups if additional changes need to be made to the lens to get the best fit for you.

Ortho-keratology, or corneal reshaping, is a process where a contact lens is used like an overnight retainer to change the shape of the eye and allow clear vision when the lenses are removed in the morning. It has been shown to be an effective way to control nearsightedness in children.
