We provide urgent treatment for eye injuries, infections, and sudden vision changes. Our team addresses conditions like corneal abrasions, foreign body removal, and acute glaucoma. Prompt care ensures optimal recovery and prevents long-term damage to ocular health.

Questions
Are your eye examination fees competitive?
Our fees include essential diagnostic testing, ensuring comprehensive care without hidden costs. This approach maximizes insurance coverage and avoids fragmented billing for additional procedures.
Do your glasses cost more than big-box stores?
We match competitors' prices for equivalent lenses while offering quality assurance. Our opticians explain material differences to help patients make informed choices about durability and visual performance.
How often should I get an eye exam?
Children need exams at 6 months, 2-5 years, and annually during school. Adults aged 19-64 should be tested every two years, seniors annually, and contact lens users yearly.
What's the difference between an eye exam and a sight test?
Eye exams assess overall ocular health and detect diseases like glaucoma and diabetes. Sight tests only measure vision correction, potentially missing serious health conditions requiring early intervention.
Does MSP cover eye exams?
MSP provides partial coverage for eligible patients. We direct bill most extended insurance plans to simplify reimbursement. Check BCDO's website for detailed eligibility requirements and coverage limits.
