A REFRACTION is the process of determining the best eyeglass prescription for your eyes. This is not only to allow us to prescribe glasses, but MORE IMPORTANTLY to determine how well you can see. This helps us to separate GLASSES problems from EYE DISEASE problems that can make you go blind or systemic diseases that can cause severe illnesses.
A REFRACTION may or may not be performed at the time of your visit, depending on the doctors' judgment of its necessity. This service is usually NOT covered by health insurance policies and is never covered by Medicare. Therefore, if a refraction is performed and your insurance company classifies a refraction as a non-covered service, the receptionist will request payment for this service as well as any deductible, co-pay or co-insurance at the end of your visit.
