FAQ

What is included in a comprehensive eye exam?

A comprehensive eye exam evaluates your eyesight, prescription requirements, and general condition of your eyes. In our Upper West Side clinic, your optometrist will analyze the way your eyes work together and check eye pressure, as well as look into the internal structure of your eyes. 

How long does an eye exam take?

As usual, a typical eye examination takes 30 to 60 minutes, but sometimes the procedure may take longer in case you require additional checks, dilatation, or contact lens fitting.

How often should you get an eye exam? 

The recommended schedule for undergoing a comprehensive eye checkup depends on your age, eye condition, and risk factors. For adults with no symptoms and risks, it is necessary to have an eye exam at least once in two years. Those who are older than 65 years of age should get an eye exam once a year.

How much does an eye exam cost on Upper West Side?

At EuroOptica UWS, a self-pay comprehensive eye exam is $125, and separate costs may be charged for contact lens fittings or additional services. If you happen to possess a medical vision insurance plan, our friendly team will help you understand your expenses.

Is a contact lens fitting included in a regular eye exam?

A contact lens fitting is an additional service beyond an eye exam. It involves taking measurements and making lens evaluations to check on comfort and how well the contact lens fits your eyes. Make sure to book this appointment if you want to start using contact lenses or change your prescription. 

Can I get glasses the same day as my eye exam?

Yes, EuroOptica has its own on-site lab and you can get your same-day prescription glasses. However, availability depends on your prescriptions, lens specification, type of lens, stock availability, and many other factors. Feel free to ask our specialists at EuroOptica Upper West Side if they can handle your order on same day as your eye exam.
