Tres Vision FAQ

You do not need to do anything special physically prior to having your eyes examined; please just remember to provide us with your insurance prior to your appointment to allow us to verify your benefits in advance. You will also need to bring the following with you to the exam:

• Insurance card
• Photo ID
• List of medications
• Current prescription glasses

You will receive a preliminary glaucoma screening consisting of a pressure check and we will also measure the angles of your pupils. If there are any indications of irregularities in these measurements, we will bring you in for diagnostic testing to analyze if glaucoma may be present.

Yes, you will be dilated.

Yes. We do provide disposable mydriatics adaptable for glasses wearers and non-glasses wearers in case you do not have your own sunglasses or they are not dark enough.

Prescriptions can be dispensed by any optician in our optical departments.

We have full optical departments in each location containing anywhere from budget frames and lenses to designer frames such as Coasta, Coach, Versace, and Dolce and Gabbana. Brands vary by location.

$180 for a new patient and $160 for an established patient without insurance. However, we check the full health of your eyes while you are here, not just provide a prescription for glasses. Insurance plans vary in copays.

As long as we are in-network with your insurance or you are self-paying we will honor those prescriptions.

During an eye exam you will do a few precursory tests to get a baseline reading of your prescription and the health of your eyes. We are a medical practice, so you will get checked for the more common medical conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. During this appointment, you may also request to be fitted for contact lenses.

Please allow for an hour and a half, which should include taking time to sit with an optician in case of the need for glasses.

This is up to you. You will be light-sensitive and your near vision will be blurry. Some patients are comfortable enough to drive themselves but if you may feel at all uncomfortable, we suggest you bring a driver.

Eye exams should be done on a yearly basis for all patients, unless you are diabetic, in which you should have an eye exam done once a year – one routine and one medical. Even if you do not wear prescription glasses or contacts it is suggested you come in to check the health of your eyes yearly.

A contact lens prescription is separate from a glasses prescription. As long as you and your doctor discussed your intent to be fit with these lenses and discussed insurance benefits or out of pocket expenses with the receptionists, you are more than welcome to have a copy of your contact lens prescription.

Our optical departments are fully adept with large selections of frames, just ask your optician what benefits you can utilize at our practice. We are also a supplier for most brands of contacts so please feel free to speak to a receptionist about purchasing with us.

We accept most insurances in addition to cash, check, credit card, or Care Credit.
