We are an authorized provider for many vision insurance plans including VSP, Medical Eye Services, Kaiser, Blue Vision and Medi-Cal. 

Medicare and most PPO Health Insurances will cover most, if not all of the examination or treatment fees if there is:

  • A medical diagnosis (like dry eyes, allergies, injuries, macular degeneration, cataracts, etc.)
  • A sign or symptom (like blurred vision, red eyes, itchy eyes, sore eyes, eye pain, etc.) 
  • A history of taking a high risk medication (like insulin, prednisone, etc.) 

Some HMO medical plans also have a vision care plan.   It all can be very confusing, so call the office and we will research your options for you.  Easy! 

We also accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards.
