Medical Eye Care

What is “Medical Eye Care”?

Most routine eye exams are actually complex comprehensive medical visits. A routine eye exam only updates glasses and screens for un-diagnosed diseases. The examination, diagnosis, and treatment of eye conditions is not covered by vision plans, but is covered with your major medical plan under a specialist copay or deductible.

While annual preventative eye exams are critical to your long term health, any new or sudden changes to your vision should be addressed immediately.

If you have or think you have any of the following conditions, conditions, please give us a call at (505) 892-8411 to schedule:
