Computer Vision Testing

Computer Vision Syndrome is caused by the constant effort it takes for your eyes to focus on a computer screen. Unlike an easy-to-read book, the images on a computer screen are made up of tiny, glowing dots called pixels. Without clearly defined edges or background contrast, your eyes can lock the images into focus. They continually drift out of their natural focal resting point and then strain to regain focus on the screen. This constant refocusing can occur in thousands of times an hour — overworking your eye muscles and causing painful eyestrain symptoms including tired and sore eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and general fatigue. If you work at a computer more than 2 consecutive hours in a day, we strongly recommend evaluating your eyes with the PRIO computer test during your visit today. With the results of this test, Dr. Fry will be able to prescribe the most accurate prescription designed specifically for your computer vision needs.

Please Read and Sign if Interested in Contact Lenses

Please Read and Sign if Interested in Contact Lenses

Professional Standards of Care require that all people who wear contact lenses have a full comprehensive exam and contact lens evaluation at least once every year.  This form is intended to make clear any misconceptions concerning the professional services and material costs of contact lenses.  Your vision benefits may not cover, or may only cover a portion of, the charges for a contact lens evaluation.  Please read carefully and sign at the bottom:  

  • We will not dispense contact lenses or write a contact lens prescription without a comprehensive eye exam and contact lens evaluation, including all necessary follow-up visits, each and every year. 
  • A comprehensive eye exam consists of tests which include:
    1. Determination of the refractive status of your eyes (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia.)
    2. Evaluation of ocular tissues, internally and externally, and any diagnosis of diseases or disorders relating to the eye.
    3. Assessment of the functional ability of the visual system.

 

A CONTACT LENS EVALUATION must be done IN ADDITION to the comprehensive eye exam, regardless of whether or not you have a change in your contact lens prescription. 

 

  • These tests are for contact lens wearers only and include:     
    1. Measurement of the curvature of the cornea to determine the proper parameters of a contact lens which will best fit each eye, and for previous wearers, to assure that your current contact lenses are still the proper fit. Corneal topography screening is included.
    2. Evaluation of the performance of the current and/or new contact lenses on each eye (visual acuity, coverage, centration, movement, tear exchange, cleanliness, etc…) 
    3. Assessment of the ocular tissues involved in contact lens wear and determination if these tissues are responding favorably to contact lens wear.
    4. Choosing the correct lens materials and designs for your individual needs utilizing the latest technology available.
    5. Ongoing follow-up visits as needed are included in the professional fee for up to 90 days.  It is the patient's responsibility to communicate with our office if any changes are desired within the fitting time frame.  Additional visits outside of the initial 90 days will be charged $55 per visit.

 

There is an ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL FEE associated with the Contact Lens Evaluation.  This fee is dependent on the level of complexity of the fitting process and does not include the price of the contact lenses.

 

Level 1                    $ 89         Soft spherical CL and Level 2 re-fit with no follow-up

Level 2                    $159        Soft toric CL requiring follow-up visit(s) or Level 3 re-fit with no follow-up

Level 3                    $199        Multi-focal soft CL, high astigmatism soft toric CL,
                                                 SV hybrid, SV RGP or CRT re-fit

Level 4                    $299        Multi-focal hybrid or RGP, multi-focal soft toricL contact lenses, or post-RK     re-fit

Level 5                    $399        CRT re-fit

Level 6                    $899        Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) initial fitting (over 18 years),                                        keratoconus hybrid or RGP, or high myopia (>10 D) medically necessary,                                                      or post-RK initial fitting

Level 7                    $1750      Scleral Lens Fitting

          

VISION BENEFITS

If you have vision benefits, your exam co-pay is only for the comprehensive portion of the exam.  Contact lenses are considered an elective form of vision correction; therefore, the contact lens evaluation is NOT covered by the comprehensive exam coverage under your vision benefits.  Unless your vision carrier provides some reimbursement toward your contact lens evaluation and/or contact lenses, you are responsible for the full amount of the contact lens evaluation fee on the date of service.

 

I have read and by signing, I understand that if I choose to be fit with contact lenses, I am financially responsible for all fees not covered by my vision benefits.

Retinal Imaging

Dilation of the pupils:

Dilating the pupils is still considered the "standard-of-care" for examining the tissues of the eyes. Eye drops are used to temporarily relax the iris muscles in order to prevent the pupils from constricting when light is presented to the eyes. This recommended for everyone having a comprehensive eye exam.

HD Retinal Photography:

Our wide-angle retinal camera (Optos Daytona) allows for high-definition images of the back of your eyes. This assists the doctor in examining the eyes and utilizes technology to see structures in the eyes which may be missed without dilation. This is also an excellent way to document the images in your record for future reference if needed.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

OCT provides a view of the retinal layers in the macular area. Without it, only observation of the top layer of the retina is possible. Think of a layered cake. If you only see the top layer of icing, you will miss all of what is inside the cake. Many pathologies occur beneath the surface of the retinas; therefore, it is important to examine this area thoroughly.

Premier Eyecare highly recommends a combination of these tests in order to receive the most thorough evaluation of your retinal health.

Please read and sign at the bottom showing that you have an understanding of the following:

                * I understand that a complete retinal health evaluation is not covered by health insurances and has an additional fee of $69.00.

                * I understand that dilation is included with my exam and will not have an additional fee.

                * I understand that by refusing dilation and retinal imaging I am going against the doctor's recommendations and will not hold the doctor responsible for any pathology that is missed due to a lack of diagnostic information that could have been obtained by using the aforementioned options

Please notify the technicians which option you would prefer for your eye health examination.
