| All
providers at Medical Eye Associates, S.C. conduct routine
eye examinations by appointment. Since our eyes serve as windows
to our world, routine eye care is recommended from early childhood
and throughout our lifetimes. Eye disease can occur at any age.
Many eye diseases do not cause symptoms until the disease has
done damage. This is the importance of ongoing eye exams.
Trained Ophthalmic
Technicians and Assistants initiate all eye exams, performing
preliminary tests, and taking personal and family health histories.
Many examinations require the pupils of the eye to be dilated,
thus enabling the Ophthalmologists and Optometrist to thoroughly
view the interior health of your eyes, and diagnose existing and
potential problems. Patients are asked to allow up to 90 minutes
for a complete eye exam. Because the pupils have been dilated,
patients should have sunglasses available when they leave the
office. Some insurance plans cover routine eye care, but many
do not. Please be prepared to pay at the time of service if you
do not have coverage. Medical Eye Associates, S.C. accepts
cash, checks, or Visa and Mastercard. |
