Comprehensive Eye Exam FAQs for Orange County Patients
How much does an eye exam cost without insurance?+
A comprehensive eye exam at our Santa Ana office costs $150–$350 without insurance: $150–$200 for a routine exam with refraction, $250–$350 when OCT retinal imaging is included. FSA and HSA funds apply. We give you an estimate before your visit.
Is an eye exam covered by insurance?+
Vision plans (VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Spectera, MES, Superior Vision) cover a routine exam for a $10–$25 copay. Medical plans (Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Medicare, Anthem) cover the exam when there is a medical diagnosis such as diabetes, glaucoma or dry eye. Medicare Part B does not cover a routine glasses exam. Call (949) 323-3600 to verify your plan.
How long does an eye exam take, and will my eyes be dilated?+
About 45–60 minutes. Dilation gives the most thorough retinal view and blurs near vision for 2–4 hours; digital retinal imaging is an alternative in many cases. Bring sunglasses.
Can I get an eye exam today?+
Routine exams are by appointment, and same-week slots are usually available. For an urgent eye problem, call first. Same-day slots are often available. Call (949) 323-3600 for today's availability.
Do you do a color vision test?+
Children's exams include a color vision check. For a quantitative result for aviation, law enforcement or military applications we offer the Rabin Cone Contrast Test on a separate visit.
When should a child have a first eye exam?+
The American Optometric Association recommends 6 months, age 3, before kindergarten, then yearly through school. A school screening only checks the distance chart and misses farsightedness, astigmatism and eye-teaming problems.
