Common questions
Before you visit
Is this a full vision exam?
No. A color-vision screen does not evaluate all aspects of eye health or visual function. Ask whether an eye-care referral is appropriate for other concerns.
Are the listed fees a complete quote?
The schedule lists individual services. Visit, laboratory, imaging, medication, supply, or other charges may apply separately. Ask for the total proposed cost before proceeding.
