Below is the Arlington Eye Center Contact Lens Policy. You will be required to sign acknowledgment when you have your contact lens appointment with us.
Contact Lens Policy
A contact lens evaluation is defined as a measurement of corneal size and shape, prescription to attain the maximum possible visual acuity, and an evaluation of the contact lens on the eye to ensure the healthy wearing of contact lenses. Insertion and removal classes (required for new wearers and if former wearers need a refresher) are an additional $30.
The contact lens evaluation charges range from $70 to $250 depending on what type of lens is needed and includes measurement and dispensing of a glasses prescription, a trial set of contact lenses, and up to three follow-up visits in the first two months.
No prescription for contact lenses will be dispensed if the evaluation is not paid for. The evaluation fee is not refundable regardless of whether the patient decides to actually engage in contact lens wear. Our practice recommends getting an annual contact lens evaluation to verify and/or change your prescription if needed.
The included follow-up visits are for contact lens fitting and prescription visits only, to be determined by the doctor. Visits for medical concerns, including those induced by contact lens wear incur separate charges or co-pays. It is the policy of this practice to receive payment at the time of service and before any contact lenses are ordered (except trials, which are included) without exception. This office does not process claims for any vision insurance plans, but our office can provide a receipt if needed for the patient to submit to insurance of reimbursement if applicable.
