Frequently Asked Questions
Are appointments required for eye exams?
Yes, we do accept appointments at our office. In fact, we highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with us in advance to ensure that you receive the best possible care.
How often should I visit the optometrist?
Typically, it’s recommended to visit the optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam every 12 months, depending on your age, overall eye health, and any existing vision issues. If you have specific concerns or changes in your vision, it’s best to schedule an appointment regardless of the recommended timeframe. Your optometrist can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs.
