When eye diseases are caught early on, they can often be treated quickly to ensure long term vision health. Additional time or testing may be required for further evaluation and management if eye disease is discovered during a routine eye exam, and if this occurs, your doctor will request that you return for a medical follow-up visit at a later date.

What happens if I undergo a routine exam and am found to have more complex needs?
In some instances, unknown or uncontrolled medical problem are identified during a routine exam. Additional time or testing may be required to further evaluate these problems. If this occurs, your doctor will request that you return for a medical follow-up visit to further evaluate and treat the problem.
Will this exam meet the requirement for my yearly routine eye exam that my insurance covers?
Yes. These benefits are designed to cover routine exams. Associated Eye Care accepts most eye care insurances including those who provide “routine” exam coverage, such as EyeMed and VSP. Please be aware that routine exams are intended to ensure wellness and update glasses and/or contact lens prescriptions. They are not intended to evaluate new medical problems or manage ongoing medical needs.
I had LASIK surgery with Associated Eye Care and have the lifetime enhancement benefit. Will this type of exam work for me?
Absolutely. Routine was designed with the lifestyles and vision needs of our LASIK patients in mind.
Great eye clinic. Extremely organized and efficient. Eye exams are very thorough and staff is excellent. Recommend.
All of the staff was very kind and professional! They made my 3-year-old's first eye exam fun for her
My son has been a patient for about 10 years now. Tried another clinic once because of distance, nothing like the way they are there!
Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. Associated Eye Care offers the optomap® as an important part of our eye exams. The optomap produces an image that is unique and provides our doctors with a high-resolution 200° image in order to ascertain the health of your retina. This is much wider than a traditional 45° image. Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight – fortunately, diseases or damage such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.
The inclusion of optomap as part of a comprehensive eye exam provides:
A scan to show a healthy eye or detect disease.
A view of the retina, giving your doctor a more comprehensive view than they can get by other means.
The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
A permanent record for your file, which allows our doctors to view your images each year to look for changes.
The optomap is fast, easy, and comfortable for anyone. The entire image process consists of you looking into the device one eye at a time. The optomap images are shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.
