• Dry Eye Syndrome
• Microphthalmia
• Keratoconus
• Corneal Ectasia
• Stevens–Johnson Syndrome
• Sjögren’s Syndrome

Sometimes. Normally, medical plans do not cover routine eye care for glasses and contacts.  Vision insurance is designed for routine eye care and for the purchase of glasses and contacts. However, if we are addressing a medical problem like diabetes, dry eye, allergies or red eyes, then we will be able to bill your medical insurance for the exam portion.  Your insurance might cover both, in part. If you are not sure, we recommend bringing both your vision and medical cards to your appointment, and we will help you determine what is best to use.
