A medical exam is needed when you:
- Have eye symptoms such as dryness, pain, redness, watering, itching, flashes, or floaters.
- Have a known eye condition, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, or allergies.
- The doctor finds a medical condition during your visit.
These visits are billed to your medical insurance, similar to any other medical appointment.
