Common questions
Eye exam questions.
What does a comprehensive eye exam include? +
It covers visual acuity, your prescription update, eye-health screening, the dilated retinal exam, and glaucoma testing.
Is a contact lens exam separate from a comprehensive eye exam? +
Yes. A contact lens exam is its own appointment: it includes everything in a comprehensive exam, plus precise measurements of your eye surface, a fitting, and a follow-up visit to confirm your lenses fit well.
Can I order glasses after my eye exam? +
Yes. You can browse frames and place your eyewear order immediately after your exam.
Where is your office? +
We have one office, at 218 Old Trolley Road, Summerville, SC 29485. We see patients from Summerville and nearby Lowcountry communities such as Ladson, Goose Creek, North Charleston, and Moncks Corner.
What are your hours, and how do I book an eye exam? +
We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 5:30pm and Saturday from 9:00am to 1:00pm, and we are closed on Sunday. Book an appointment online or call (843) 871-9750.
