Frequently
Asked Questions
Q.) Can I wear contact lenses?
A.) Successful contact
lens wear is based on a number of factors, but recent advances in the
contact lens field have allowed most patients to wear contact lenses
successfully. If you were once told you could not wear contact lenses,
chances are things may have changed. If you are interested in becoming a
contact lens wearer, speak with one of our doctors.
Q.) My eyeglasses are always so
thick. Can the lenses be made thinner?
Newer, thinner lens materials are being developed all the time.
This, along with the proper grinding and appropriate frame selection could make
your new glasses noticeably thinner. Ask one
of our doctors or staff if you are concerned with the thickness of your lenses.
Q.) I was told my child has a lazy
eye. Will she need surgery?
A.) Not only is surgical correction often unnecessary, this procedure remains
controversial as to its risks and efficacy. In most cases "lazy
eyes" can be improved or corrected non-surgically through vision
therapy. Our doctors evaluate each individual case thoroughly and will
recommend the most effective and non- invasive course of treatment.
Q.) Does your office accept my
insurance plan?

plans, such as US Healthcare, Vision Service Plan (VSP), Empire and many
