Everything you need before your first visit.
No surprises. Here's what to bring, what happens during your exam, and answers to the questions we hear most. We'll send you a link to gather information before you visit.
We make eye exams fun. Here's what to tell them.
Let them know they'll look through some cool lenses, see some lights, and play a few matching games. Dr. Anderson sees kids all day — he's good at making nervous ones comfortable. We use newer tonometry methods that don't require the air-puff test, and our equipment lets us assess most kids' eye health without dilating drops.
We'll handle the insurance part.
We accept VSP, EyeMed, DMBA, Regence, Cigna, UHC, EMI, PEHP, Medicare, Select Health, and most major vision plans. When you book, we verify your coverage before you arrive so there are no surprises at checkout.
We also accept HSA/FSA and offer payment options for services not covered by insurance.
Most myopia management treatments are partially covered by vision insurance. We also offer no-interest payment plans and accept HSA/FSA.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with us — no referral needed for a comprehensive eye exam or myopia consultation.
Can I book my whole family at once?
Yes. We offer family block scheduling so everyone can be seen in one trip. Just let us know when you book.
What if my child is nervous?
Dr. Anderson sees kids all day. He's patient, he explains everything in kid-friendly terms, and most children end up having fun. No drops are needed for most pediatric exams.
How long does an exam take?
Plan for about an hour from check-in to checkout. The exam itself is unhurried — Dr. Anderson takes the time to explain what he sees.
What if I'm overdue for an exam?
No judgment. Whether it's been 2 years or 10, we'll do a thorough assessment and get you caught up.
Is the myopia consultation separate?
Yes. The myopia management consultation is a dedicated 30-minute assessment with Dr. Anderson, separate from a routine exam. The initial consultation is no-cost. Subsequent fittings, lenses, and ongoing management visits are billed separately and are usually not covered by vision insurance. You can book both if needed.
