This image is completely safe for kids and adults and does not emit radiation like an X-ray. Optomap image advantages 1. No blurred vision 2. No light sensitivity 3. Images can be captured in 0.25 of a second 4. Permanent record of retina for future comparison 5. Images help patients understand their eye health vs.Dilated exam disadvantages 1. Blurred near vision for 4 – 6 hours 2. Light sensitivity for 4 – 6 hours 3. 20-30 min longer office visit waiting for drops to work 4. No permanent image for future comparison 5. Explanations of eye health more difficult Optomap image showing retinal tear Retinal image with a horseshoe tear that would be very difficult to detect without the Optomap. Problems such as retinal tears can occur without symptoms and potentially lead to retinal detachment and vision loss. Dr. Lewis and his associates have discovered retinal tears in numerous patients through the use of the Optomap. Prompt referral to a retinal specialist saved vision in each case We recommend that ALL patients have a thorough examination of their retina during every routine eye exam.Without the Optomap or the dilated examination, the doctor cannot fully assess the health of the back of your eyes. There is an additional fee of only $25 for the Optomap. In most cases, this procedure is not covered by insurance. * I elect to have an Optomap ($25) which has no side effects, and understand it is not required but recommended by our doctors. I prefer a dilated exam of my retina and I have been informed of the side effects of dilation listed above. I do not wish to have either the Optomap or dilation performed, and understand that I am limiting my doctor’s ability to diagnose eye diseases that could lead to vision loss. I have read the above information and have specific questions that I would like to ask the doctor before making a final decision. Exam Fees Exams for Glasses are $80 Contact Lens Exams are $105 - $125 depending on the complexity of the fit. Patients with high astigmatism, patients needing monovision contact lenses, bifocal contact lenses, or gas permeable contact lenses are more complex. Contact lens exams include a glasses prescription. New contact lens wearers will be charged a $30 fee for contact lens insertion and removal training. Fees for medical eye office visits (such as “red eye” problems) can range from $85-$115 depending on the complexity of the diagnosis and treatment. Follow-up Exam Policy For Glasses Prescriptions: If you are unhappy with your new glasses prescription, please schedule an appointment within 60 days with the optometrist to assess the problem free of charge. If you return later than 60 days past the original exam, an office visit fee will apply. If you return 6 months past the original exam date, you will be assessed another full exam fee. For Contact Lens Prescriptions: The contact lens exam includes all contact lens fitting related appointments for 60 days from the date of the original exam. If you need a follow-up and do not return to a scheduled appointment, you do NOT have a valid contact lens prescription. If you return 2-6 months after the original exam date, you will be assessed an additional fitting fee. If you return for a follow-up past 6 months, you will be assessed the full contact lens exam fee. We require payment for services at the time of the examination. Although we may be able to bill your insurance for some services, fees not paid by the insurance are ultimately the patient’s responsibility.
