Eye exams, glasses and contacts in Glendale.
Exams with an optometrist, an optician for frames, and a straight answer on what your plan pays.
What happens in an hour.
An eye exam checks how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. Plan on about an hour, a little longer if we widen your pupils.
- 5 min
Check-in
Your history, your medicines and what’s bothering you, if anything.
- 10 min
Pre-tests
Eye pressure, a photo of the back of the eye if you want one, and how your current glasses read.
- 10 min
Which is clearer?
One or two, red or green: the part everyone remembers. This sets your prescription.
- 15 min
Eye health
The doctor looks at the front and back of each eye. Drops to widen the pupils if needed.
- 15 min
Frames or lenses
Pick frames with an optician, or try contact lenses if you came for those.
If we widen your pupils
The drops blur close-up vision and make light feel bright for a few hours. Bring sunglasses, and bring a driver if you’d rather not drive.
Bring with you
- The glasses you wear, and contact lens boxes if you wear them
- Your vision plan card and your medical card
- A list of the medicines you take
Vision plan, or medical insurance?
The reason for the visit decides who pays, not the doctor. A yearly check for glasses goes to a vision plan. Red eyes, an infection or a diabetes check go to medical insurance.
