Faqs of Getting an Eye Exam Without Insurance: What to Expect (Costs and More)

At Bogey Hills Vision in St. Charles, we not only work with many eye care insurance providers, but we’re also proud to offer several service packages at competitive prices to help you get the care that you deserve even if you are uninsured. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our team receives about what to expect when you are getting an eye exam without insurance:

What Does Eye Insurance Cover?

Most insurance plans will cover at least a portion of the cost of a comprehensive eye exam, and some plans will cover the entire cost. However, if you do not have insurance, you may be responsible for the full cost of the exam. Luckily, Bogey Hills Vision provides many self-payment options including vouchers to help offset the cost.

• Spectera Eyecare Networks

I Do Not Have Eye Insurance. Do I Still Need to Go To the Eye Doctor?

Yes. Even if you do not have insurance, you should still have your eyes checked regularly to ensure that they are healthy and to catch any problems early such as:

• Eye strain

• Astigmatism

• Myopia (nearsightedness)

• Hyperopia (farsightedness)

• Macular degeneration

• Cataracts

• Glaucoma

How Often Do I Need an Eye Exam?

The frequency of eye exams depends on many factors, such as age, health, and family history, but as a general guideline we recommend everyone over the age of five have a complete eye exam.

What Eye Care Services Are Available For Uninsured Patients?

At Bogey Hills Vision in St. Charles, we offer all of our comprehensive eye services to patients regardless of insurance status.

What Can I Expect During a Routine Eye Exam?

A routine eye exam will give our team a detailed look at the health of your eyes and help us to identify any vision problems that you may be experiencing. During your exam, we will test your eye health, vision, and the alignment of your eyes. If you need glasses or contact lenses, we will provide you with a prescription. If we believe that you have a vision condition that needs to be addressed, we will refer you to an ophthalmologist.

How Much Will an Eye Exam Cost Without Insurance?

The cost of an eye exam without insurance will vary depending on the type of exam you need and the services that you need to address an existing vision problem. Our team will work with you to help you choose the best exam package for your needs and budget.

Can I Get Contact Lenses Without Insurance?

Yes, you can get contact lenses without insurance. Our team will work with you to help you choose the best contact lens options for your needs and budget.

What is the Difference Between Reading Glasses and Prescription Glasses?

Reading glasses typically have a magnification strength of anywhere between +1 to +4 to aid people with close up reading. Prescription eye glasses are customized and created to a person’s specific needs including both close-up and distance vision assistance. No matter the state of your eyes, it is always important to schedule a routine eye exam to make sure you have the correct len prescription for your eye health.

What Options Are Available for Those Who Wish to Purchase Lenses and Frames Without Insurance?

After your eye exam, if prescription glasses are needed, our team will help you find a pair that not only looks great on your face, but also fits your budget needs. Our Single Vision Glass Voucher includes a full eye exam (including glaucoma screening), Optos Retinal imaging, refraction testing to determine your prescription and a complete set of single vision glasses including frame up to $150.00 retail price and plastic lenses. Along with this our voucher includes a one year warranty covering manufacturers defects in frame or lenses for a total price of $150.

What If I Fall in Love With A Pair Of Glasses That Are More Than $150? Can I Still Use the Voucher?

Yes! At Bogey Hills Vision, uninsured patients receive a $150.00 credit to any frame over $150.00 and up to a 40% discount on all premium lens features such as transitions, polarized sun wear, anti-glare coatings. Additional pairs are available at half-off normal retail price, so you always have the perfect pair!

What Self-Payment Options Are Available in Addition to the Vouchers?

You can choose either a standard appointment where you pay as normal, or a purchasable voucher, which can be transferred to anyone and redeemed at any time for exams, glasses, contacts, and/or eye care.

Can I Do An Eye Exam Online?

While some places may offer eye exams online, we find these to be an inaccurate method for diagnosing eye conditions and prescribing corrective lenses. To get the best comprehensive eye care, it is best to request an in-person appointment at our office in St. Charles!
