The Rochester Eye and Laser Center has all of the eye care services you need, all under one roof! So this August (also known as National Eye Exam Month), get scheduled to make sure your eyes are happy and healthy for years to come!

 

 

Medical Eye Exam

When it comes to ophthalmic care, the Rochester Eye and Laser Center has been providing excellent care to our patients for over 40 years. If you need to get a medical eye exam done, we would be honored to be the practice you choose to invest in your vision’s health.

How do you know if you need a medical eye exam? Great question! The American Board of Ophthalmologists recommends that anyone 40 years of age or older gets their baseline exam done as soon as possible. This ensures your doctor has a snapshot of what your eyes look like so we can track your eye health over the years. After your first medical eye exam, your doctor will recommend when your next checkup should be based on your eyes and their needs.

This exam is different from an exam you do for a new glasses or contacts prescription. A medical eye exam takes a more in-depth look at your eyes to look for common vision diseases and conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, keratoconus and more. Modern technology allows us to detect these conditions before you even notice they’re there. But don’t wait! The sooner we know about any potential vision problems, the easier it is to correct them before they start impacting your daily life.

Taking care of your eyes is imperative and medical eye exams are covered by medical insurance, including Medicare. So, if you don’t have vision insurance, you can still have your medical eye exams covered. If you have questions about whether or not our doctors are in your medical insurance network, feel free to call us! Our team would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. 

LASIK

If you’ve always wanted the freedom of LASIK, National Eye Exam Month is a great time to schedule your LASIK consultation. This consultation (which is completely free) will introduce you to your laser eye correction options, and we’ll evaluate which option you are the best candidate for. Plus, your initial consultation has no obligations. No strings attached, we promise!

After your consultation, we can get you scheduled for your procedure and get you Seeing Clearly Better as soon as possible. We can’t wait to meet you and get your clear-vision journey started! Bonus: 20% off LASIK if you have your consultation in this month and surgery before the end of September. Sale ends 8/31/22.
