Exam length
A standard comprehensive exam is 30 to 45 minutes; new-patient and contact-lens fittings extend it to 60 to 90 minutes; pediatric exams typically 45 minutes.
20/30
Contact-lens fitting fee
A separately billable visit, even when it follows a routine exam in the same calendar slot. Most fittings cost $60–$150 in fitting fees on top of the comprehensive exam.
20/40
Vision vs medical insurance
Vision plans (VSP / EyeMed / Davis / Spectera) cover routine refraction + frame allowance + lens benefits. Medical plans (Aetna / BCBS / Cigna) cover a doctor visit when the reason is medical (eye pain, sudden change, glaucoma, diabetes follow-up).
20/50
Adult exam cadence
Without symptoms or known disease, every two years from 18 to 64, then yearly from 65. Contact-lens wearers should be examined annually because lens fit and corneal health both need a yearly review.
20/70
Same-day frame fitting
Most practices keep a frame wall in-office and dispense the prescription on the same visit, with a 7- to 14-day lens-grinding turnaround. Premium progressives or specialty coatings push longer.
20/100
Dry-eye treatment
Optometrists screen for evaporative versus aqueous-deficient dry eye and offer artificial-tear regimens, warm-compress protocols, and in-office gland expression. Severe cases get referred to a cornea specialist.
