When was your last eye exam?

Routine eye exams are a recommended cornerstone for ensuring the health of your eyes. In addition to checking for changes in your vision and updating your prescription, our eye doctors will also look at your overall eye health, internally and externally. Vision insurance plans provide coverage and discounts for routine eye exams, contact lenses and glasses. Most medical insurance does not cover routine eye care. Please check your medical benefits carefully prior to your appointment.

Medical eye exams are offered to address and treat medical conditions and diseases of the eye such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, conjunctivitis, or injuries to the eye. These and other conditions may potentially affect your vision or overall health if not treated properly and in a timely manner. Examinations for medical eye care, assessment of an eye complaint or to follow up on an existing medical condition are billed to your medical insurance plan.

A comprehensive eye exam at Atlantic Eye Institute includes:

• Review of medical, social and family history
• Visual acuity testing
• Pupil assessment
• Ocular motility
• Confrontation visual fields (test to assess peripheral vision)
• Eye pressure (glaucoma screening)
• Refraction (test to determine eyeglass prescription)
• Pupil dilation
• Slit lamp examination (physician examination of the front and back of the eye)

Atlantic Eye Institute offers an alternative to dilation with the Optomap® Retinal Exam. The Optomap® provides a panoramic view of the back of the eye, displaying over 80% of the retina at one time. This allows your physician to screen the back of your eyes for any potential disease or condition without the need for dilating drops. If you elect for this option in lieu of traditional dilation, there is a $40 charge which is not covered by your insurance. Keep in mind, your doctor may still recommend traditional dilation based on the reason for your visit or findings during your exam.
