At Hertzog Eye Care, we have a great selection of frames in a wide range of prices and styles (from designer to conservative) with any type of lenses available. Lens types include the latest progressive (no-line bifocal) designs, transitions (lenses that tint into sunglasses when outside in the sun), and any lens color and tint you would want in sunglasses.
Also, we have a full-service optical with a lab, so we can make most glasses in-house. Kimmy and her assistant will make sure that you will leave our Optical Shop looking good. Also, if you have a current contact lens prescription (less than one year old) and need to buy more contacts, we can order any lenses available on the market.
Glasses
Refraction (Test For a New Glasses Prescription)
The refraction test — to determine what prescription gives you the sharpest vision in new glasses — is not covered by most medical insurance plans. We charge $50 for a normal refraction, and $65-$75 if you have problems with double vision and we must prescribe prism. We quote all of our patients the appropriate fee once we determine what type of refraction is necessary, and you can decide at that point if you would like to proceed.
Contacts
Contact Lens Exams
Dr. Ryan sees all of our contact lens patients and prescribes every type of lens available. Once he performs the refraction and takes the necessary corneal measurements, he will discuss the contact lens options that will give you the best visual outcome and the corresponding fees involved. Unfortunately, there are no medical insurance plans that cover a standard contact lens exam or contact lenses, but we have set the following very reasonable fees:
New Patient Contact Lens Fitting/Re-Fitting: $175-$200
This is a patient who has never had a contact lens exam in our office, even if they are a current contact lens wearer. This fee includes the refraction, contact lens training (if necessary), all trial lenses, and 2 follow-ups within 2 months of the initial evaluation. Follow-ups thereafter will be $50/visit.
Established Patient Contact Lens Fitting: $125-$150
This is a patient who has had a contact lens fitting at our office in the past. This fee includes the refraction, trial lenses, and 2 follow-ups within 2 months of the initial evaluation. Follow-ups thereafter will be $50/visit.
Specialized Therapeutic Contact Lens Fitting: $300
This evaluation is for a contact lens patient with a unique corneal condition/irregularity that requires more time for the fitting process. For example, this would include, but is not limited to, patients with keratoconus, previous corneal transplant, or previous radial keratotomy. Most patients with these conditions are dependent on therapeutic contact lenses to provide them with functional vision. The fitting fee includes the refraction, contact lens training (if necessary), all trial lenses, and 2 follow-ups within 3 months of the initial evaluation. Follow-ups thereafter will be $50/visit.
