Preparing for an eye exam can bring up a lot of questions, from how often you should schedule a visit to what your insurance covers. At Missouri Vision Care, we aim to make your visit smooth and stress-free. Below, we answer some of the most common questions to help you get ready for your appointment.
1. How Often Should I Have an Eye Exam?
Routine eye exams are recommended annually unless you have specific medical conditions that require more frequent check-ups. Regular visits help monitor vision changes, detect early signs of eye diseases, and ensure your prescription is up to date.
2. How Long Does an Eye Exam Take?
A standard eye exam at Missouri Vision Care typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. If you're selecting new frames or need glasses adjustments, you may need additional time for styling and fitting.
3. How Much Does an Eye Exam Cost?
We accept most insurance plans, which usually cover a significant portion of your exam. If paying out-of-pocket, a routine eye exam starts at $95, with an additional cost for a contact lens assessment.
4. Where is Missouri Vision Care Located?
Our office is conveniently located at the intersection of Page Extension and Highway 94, near TGI Friday’s, making it easy to find and access.
5. What Insurance Plans Do You Accept?
We accept most major insurance providers, including Medicaid, as well as coverage for eyewear under managed care, private insurance, vision, and medical plans. If you're unsure about your coverage, our team can assist you.
6. What Should I Bring to My Appointment?
Please bring:
- Your insurance card for coverage verification
- Any current eyeglasses or contact lenses to assist in assessing vision changes
- A list of any medications you take that may affect eye health
7. What Are the Signs That I Might Need Glasses?
If you're experiencing blurry vision at any distance, frequent eye strain, headaches, or discomfort from prolonged screen time, it may be time for prescription glasses. We also offer blue light protection lenses to help reduce eye fatigue caused by digital devices.
