How to Prepare for an Eye Exam

If you are interested in having an eye exam conducted, and you are contemplating switching doctors, you are most likely concerned about what the procedure will be like when you arrive for your appointment. Contacting Erie Optical in Mentor is one of the first steps necessary for a successful experience. Here are some tips you can use to prepare for your eye exam.

Get Records Transferred

If you are transferring from another practice, it is a good idea to alert your previous optometrist about your desire to switch to a new practitioner. Inquire about the procedure necessary for having your records transferred to our office. If your old practice requires us to ask for these records, let us know and we will call on your behalf.

Find Out About Insurance Information

Before you call for an appointment, find out if our office accepts your insurance. This will save you the worry about how much you will be spending on the exam and any corrective lenses you require. Simply call your insurance provider and ask them whether our practice is considered in network. If not, call us to inquire about pricing before your appointment so you are not caught off guard with the costs associated with a visit.

Know What You'd Like from the Exam

It is important to have an idea about what you would consider a positive experience when visiting an eye doctor. If you require corrective lenses, knowing what type you would like ahead of time can help save you time. If you have concerns about your vision, jot them down so you do not forget to ask our optometrist about them when your appointment date arrives.

  • ""I have been going to Erie Optical for 3 years now. My sister referred me to Dr. Waldman after her great experience with him and the office. We had a previous eye doctor and the experience was not good and they charged so much. So when I went to Erie Optical I was so pleased with the office and Dr. Waldman's expertise and thoroughness. I ended up referring my parents and grandmother to Erie Optical too. I will never going anywhere else!!!""
